The year is 1937, just prior to the Japanese invasion of China. Painters Ju Rui and Lao San stumble upon He Hua, a woman sold into the sex industry at a local brothel. Gradually, feelings develop between the shy couple, but then the Japanese army rolls into town, and life for all around changes dramatically...
