Dafu is one of the million autism patients in China: he looks absent-minded, repeats other people's words, swims with amazing ease, keeps everything at home in exact order... and maybe he is not totally aware of his mother's death some years ago. Working in an aquarium, Wang Xincheng takes tender care of this twenty-two-year-old son of his. With the generous help of the neighbors, the two love happily together. Yet, the father understands very well that in the end, he will have to depart from the world, leaving his son alone - and that day will come sooner than everyone is ready to believe.
