After spending many years in the city, a Tibetan man named BaWu returns to his long-abandoned pastoral homeland with a heavy heart. As soon as he arrives home, he encounters his younger brother, who has just returned from herding cattle. In the awkwardness of familiarity mixed with estrangement, they work together to return a lost foal to its owner, subtly rekindling the bond of their old familial ties.


Later, BaWu reunites with his close friend DuoJi at the mountain peak. They reminisce about the past rumors of poaching and gun bans in the pastoral area, their laughter and anger making old memories seem both real and absurd.


A few days later, DuoJi prepares to leave the pastoral area and move to the city. BaWu bids him farewell, feeling a deep sense of reluctance and helplessness. The days spent herding cattle with his brother seem peaceful and beautiful, but one day, his brother mysteriously disappears, leaving BaWu in a state of panic.


At night, in the quiet mountaintop hut, BaWu and his brother sit together, speaking in low voices about pastoral life and family memories. A sense of helpless sorrow spreads like night fog across the vast wilderness. As the conversation deepens, BaWu gradually realizes that he has been alone all along. His brother has been gone for a long time, and an overwhelming sense of loneliness sweeps over him. In the boundless wilderness, he discovers that the only one he can rely on is himself.
