Da Ming is a succesful businessman from Shentchen and goes home to attend his father's funeral. He thinks his father has died because his younger brother, Er Ming, sent him a postcard with a drawing that looks like his father is dead. Er Ming is mentally-handicapped and helps his father take care of the family business. The business is a Japanese bathhouse were the costumers meet daily. The relationship between the men are very stong and they help each other in every aspect of life. Da defies his responsibilities as the older brother and wrestles with old traditions and his new values in a modern technological business world. He faces a terminally illed father, a custody of a mentally handicapped brother and telling his wife the truth about his family. This film is another example of Confuciu's ideas of filial piety. It is very moving! Make sure you have an extra large box of tissue next to you.
