Eleven members of a traditional theatre troupe perform daily and live out their lives in a small playhouse in the Sichuan region of China. Their three-hour show combines various forms, from classical Chinese opera to acrobatics, and is adored by the locals. Their star actress Dandan has performed in the troupe with her mother since she was little, sharing a living space with a group of performers who share no absence of fights. Though she worries about her future, she continues to earnestly perform the heroine for her elderly audience.
