Story:
When they are evicted from their apartment in a provincial city in Northern China, a young bar singer and her two male friends rent rooms from a retired opera singer in Peking. The free-spirited young people chafe against a myriad of rules from their controlling landlady. They retaliate by playing unkind practical jokes on the older woman, who pays them back in kind. Their contest of wills escalates, culminating in a violation of trust by the tenants, but eventually the generations learn from each other and a familial bond is formed between them.

An odd mix of styles, genres and stories -trickily balanced, too many films in one. There are touching characters, beautiful monochrome blues, city, mountain visuals, and Little gem, heartfelt moments at times, then others that are exaggerated, out of place or just too much. Surprisingly, it coalesces together in a sort of exploration of loss and loneliness. Question mark finale; but all in all likeable.
