Wang Mojie's dreams wilted in the Beijing heat. Leaving his failed marriage behind, he seeks meaning in Lhasa. Instead, he finds Ukyi Lhamo. The soul of every party, her studied Parisian charms hide an inner rootlessness as she searches for her grandmother, the key to her lost Tibetan heritage.Crossing paths among a gathering of self-exiled intellectuals living among the cool mountains, the two find themselves on the sidelines of a fierce philosophical debate. However, as Wang Mojie's masochistic fantasies resurface, can they cling to what they mutually lack? Or was it never possible to make peace with zero?
