Yaoyao, a young girl with a dream of becoming a ballerina, trains every night under the streetlights, guided by her father who uses traditional Chinese martial arts techniques. A photo of her dancing under the dim lights goes viral worldwide, leading to an invitation from the Australian Ballet. Ten years later, as her father lies critically ill, Yaoyao contacts the filmmaker, hoping to capture their family’s final moments together — a touching testament to love, perseverance, and farewell.
