Many years ago Mr. Six was a notorious gangster. That was back when there was still such a thing as honour among thieves, when criminals earned respect and maintained principles. These days Mr. Six is all but forgotten, a living relic residing in a narrow alley. One day Six's son, Xiaobo, is abducted by some spoiled punks after he scratches their precious Ferrari. Mr. Six realizes that he must do whatever it takes to get his son back — even if that means returning to the life he thought he had left behind.

Follows a woman whose consciousness falls into the "eternal time zone" during a surgical procedure. In the year 2068, she wakes up to find she’s the only living being in a world lying in ruins. Trapped in many dreams, she finds a bionic half-man half-robot corpse and tries to wake it up by telling endless stories—a metaphorical tale recounting almost a century of solitude for China. The android then wanders within her stories and its senses gradually awaken. At the end of her stories, she must make a choice: return to the real world or remain alone with this bionic being, for whom she’s beginning to develop real feelings.
