血脉作横樑,以此撑成家。只是一个屋簷下,有时偏是血亲才结梁子。祖父目成盲,帮别人算了一辈子的命,能看命宫,却守不住自己房舍。爸爸成了建设公司老闆,盖别人的家,回头却要拆自己的房子。现代化浪潮下都市化进程摧枯拉朽,时代如推土机开来,家如何成家?屋簷下闹革命,爸爸处处求生,爷爷动輒说死,老屋子裡暗稀微,多少故事如尘埃在光影裡飞扬,且任镜头游移,空间裡丈量时间,几代故事,各自悲喜,体察情感格局,看两代亲情动线怎麼腾挪闪移,各有各的理,毫不相让,有时软砖头,打在身,痛在心,时不铁门槛,跨不过就是跨不过。大破坏与大建设,相近又远离,是一页家史,其实是家族史,更是时代转型之交属於一个人的生命史。陋屋豪邸,阳宅阴宅,生求一块地,死葬一块地,聚散有时,兴旺有时,生有时死有时,房子有时,但家是永远。

Filmmaker Deng Wei’s grandfather Zuogui has been blind since the age of three, living most of his life as a fortune-teller to raise his family. He has grown increasingly embittered towards his son Donggu (Wei’s father), a property developer set on earning the respect not afforded him as a child. Although the signs portend failure for him, Donggu persists in his pursuit of money, exacerbating the discord between him and his father. “What must be, must be. Everything is determined by fate, not humans,” warns Zuogui. As the frail old man approaches the final chapter of his life, will fate forever keep father and son apart, or can it heal the very wounds it created between them?
