‘Floaters’ are people who live and work in a city, but are not native residents. It is rare for them to have a fixed home, as they move from place to place according to their job requirements, so many do not feel a sense of belonging. The movie tells the story of Yu Xiaobao, a floater who is trying to hide the reality of his struggling life from his daughter who still lives in their hometown. As a result, he tells her that he has become a film director. When his daughter suddenly decides to visit him, he enlists the help of his other floater friends to put on a show so that she does not find out the truth.
