Through the psychoanalytic and introspective voiceover of a young post-pandemic Chinese migrant in Europe, the film interweaves her private memories of intimacy with public narratives of resistance. As her reflections unfold, she and her community navigate secrecy, repression, survival, looming precarity, and displacement, all while confronting the personal cost of existing in a world that demands their silence.

Markus, a young man adrift after his father’s death, finds purpose in an underground graffiti partnership with his friend Sean.

As their fame grows, so does the tension between integrity and exploitation, authenticity and corruption.
