Zhang Huiling

Growing up in a border town, Qiao Yan (Zhao Liying) became a well-known actress after years of hard work, but was careful along the way under heavy pressure. With an anonymous blackmail message, a dusty past becomes her new shadow. Meanwhile, her sister (Xin Zhilei), who lost contact with her years ago, suddenly shows up. Things may seem coincidental, but there is a bigger crisis hidden behind. The movie is adapted from Zhang Yueran's novel.

When internationally acclaimed artist Mo Ke announces that he is selling his prized painting, "The Falling Feather", and that he will donate all the proceeds from its sale to a small Yunnan town, everyone in the art world is puzzled and intrigued. Why is he doing this? To answer this question we are transported 20 years into the past, to when a young unknown painter visited Yunnan and was captivated and inspired not only by the beauty of the location, but by a young woman... with a feather in her hair.
