At 40, is a woman just entering the prime of her life, or is her fate already sealed? Zhang Xin is about to complete her PhD, yet she finds herself torn between being a good mother and pursuing her ambition. She wants her child to grow up close to nature, but has to give up a teaching position in the city. Independent filmmaker Zhang Xin wrote, directed and starred in this film using a mockumentary style, weaving her own experiences into the script, enlisting non-professional actors and allowing improvisation to capture the essence of real life.

女人四十，人生正要踏入黃金期，還是已成定局？章昕完成博士學位在即，卻在當個好媽媽和自我實現之間拉扯。她想讓孩子在大理靠近自然的環境成長，卻不得已要放棄在城市的理想教職。與丈夫分居，與母親冷戰，求職未遂，兒子需要自己照顧，她卻不甘心就此把自我湮沒在母親身份下。在疲累瑣碎中繼續生活，此時一通來自老家的電話，打破本就搖搖欲墜的平衡…… 獨立導演張歆以偽紀錄片模式自編自導自演，把自己的真實人生寫入劇本，找來素人演員即興演出，在虛實之間刻劃無數現代中年女性的困境。
