Cao Luyi, a B-scan doctor lost his job. He had no choice but to go to the “Dongshan Courtyard” sanatorium for medical services. Most of the patients in the sanatorium have dysgnosia, including a couple: Yingjun and Yanzi. Yanzi has been pregnant. As the days went by, Luyi got familiar with the noisy and chaotic life in sanatorium, even if he didn’t want to at the first place. Although the people here always made him angry and speechless, he gradually opened his heart to them. Yanzi’s pregnancy test showed that the fetus had encephalocele. For her, childbirth is very risky. Luyi suggested abortion. But Yingjun and Yanzi finally moved Luyi, whose father is also a dysgnosia patient. Luyi determined to help them. Who is the one to redeem or to be redeemed, it is not up to the intelligence. In the Dongshan courtyard, Luyi finally knows what love is.

A Chinese film that caught me by surprise – so emotionally packed while dealing with a difficult subject of love between mentally challenged people… and the product of that love! All this was told through a story of an ultrasound technician named Cao Luyi (Jin), who finds himself at a turning point in his life. After being introduced by a friend, he accepts a position at a sanatorium. There, he meets carer Li Wenjing, a bunch of lovable people, and the infatuated Liu Yingjun (Qiu Ze) and Wu Yanzi (Zhang). From their first meetings to their deepest bonds, they all find a place and a sense of belonging.

Screenwriter Qiu Yan and director Ha Zhichao expressed their opinion and the behind-the-scenes creative process with the following words: "There are various people with various life experiences in this story, and how they face life is the most important thing" .

You've reached the end.
