Cao’s drinking table is set up on the arcade in front of his house. Every night for the past 30 years, since he was 40 years old, he can be found there chatting with his drinking buddies: Lai, an old friend and neighbor he used to do business with, are fixtures at this sidewalk establishment. Old retirees, bored to death and always arguing about something to keep themselves entertained. Politics and women are perennial topics. Faced with an ever-changing social ambiance while watching the glory days of their old neighborhood fade away, how do these 3 men view the development of the society in which they find themselves? Stuck somewhere between retirement and death, how do they find meaning in life?
