Young Chinese migrant worker Lin navigates nocturnal Bucharest. Punctuated by voice messages from his mother, Lin’s journey takes him from exploring a wild swamp in the heart of the city, to his night shift at a dry cleaner, and finally to a seedy speakeasy where he tries his luck at the slot machines. An encounter with seasoned gambler Vali and his son Edi propels Lin’s miniature odyssey toward a tragic end.
