Synopsis

In a post-apocalyptic future, a woman emerges from brain surgery and finds herself in a semi-conscious state, the world around her laid to waste. She comes upon the motionless body of an android and decides to tell it the history of China. Slowly, with each passing night, the robot’s senses are restored. When her stories arrive at the present, she faces a dilemma: should she return to the real world, or should she follow her heart and remain with this machine?
