Three young, educated, successful women – lawyer Qui Hua Mei, professor Gai Qi and state radio employee Xu Min – are each in their own way coming to terms with the expectations surrounding them, according to which they should have started a family years ago. Their age makes them undesirable on the Chinese marriage market. Still they try to find partners who meet their criteria. Three personal dramas play out against a backdrop of policies that rigidly define the role of women in society and the country, where looking for a happy life is a decision made collectively not individually.
