Synopsis

The Sixth People’s Hospital is one of the biggest in Shanghai. Its corridors are filled with medical staff, patients and families whose lives have been turned upside-down. A series of interconnecting stories paint a picture of China as it is today, where hypermodernism meets cultural tradition. Confronted with life’s ups and downs, the sensitivity and sense of humour of the Chinese people emerges when least expected, helping them to find a sense of personal balance.
