After the death of his wife, Lao Li's son moves him from their small Shandong town to a bustling city for better care. Isolated from his familiar community, Lao Li feels lonely and struggles to fit in due to cultural, regional, and dialect barriers. In a local park, he meets two elderly men. One shares common interests, while the other is unwelcoming. As a veteran, Lao Li’s task of filming a video for his old unit brings him back to the park. He tries to integrate and is eventually accepted, but then discovers they are gay and suspects his son might be too. Angered, he leaves. However, past encounters and memories lead him to a change of heart, and he chooses to return to the park once more.
