Ming, a woman from Shanghai, travels alone to a rubber tree plantation in Xishuangbanna on China’s southwestern border. Half a century ago, her late father was sent there during the Cultural Revolution’s “Down to the Countryside Movement”. Now, she wants to find someone who once knew him. The old house of the former production team is on the verge of demolition, and a mining company and modern agricultural projects, which have replaced the rubber plantations of the past, are quietly transforming the land. A farm officer, a rural doctor, a Dai elder (from one of the ethnic minorities in southwest China), a rubber tapper, a young ecologist and a mysterious woman who has a special connection with Ming – they all drift into her journey one after another. Through their respective oral narratives and her own experience of getting lost and searching, something deep in the jungle pulls Ming into a web of layered truths.
