Yun is a sixteen-year-old high school student living in a small riverside town. Her beautiful air of introverted concentration contains wells of deeply felt emotion, feelings that cant be articulated in the repressive social climate of her home and her small town. When her teacher discovers that she is pregnant, Yuns future prospects are irretrievably shattered. Yun gives birth to her baby and gives it up for adoption. Ten years later, Yun manages to sustain a furtive relationship with a married man, but her only real companion is Xiao Yong, a preternaturally curious and impish young boy from across the river. He craftily begins to insinuate himself into her life, becoming her devoted friend, and even, in an innocent and playful way, a kind of pre-adolescent substitute «boyfriend». But Yun still has to forge a future from her unresolved past.
