Largely based on writer/director's
own experiences, You and Me features two feisty
women, one in her 80s and the other a young and fresh
university student. The unlikely couple who happen to
share a Beijing courtyard find themselves at constant
loggerheads, over the course of 4 seasons, before gradually
becoming interested in each other's lives and building
an emotional bond.
