At the Gaomeigu Observatory in China, the Naxi people scan the sky, convinced they are the descendants of immortal beings living there, abandoned on earth to watch them. The telescope triggers their local legends, both old and new. There is a legend about the Leader who fed his people. There is a story about Sanduo, a folk tale hero from the Middle ages. Today, he is a skater in the big city. Two gods are in love, but a foreigner interferes.
