Winnie, a Beijing lady in her late twenties, is regarded by her elder brother and sister-in-law as an old maid. From time to time, they exert pressure on Winnie to get married so that she will move out to vacant her room for their kids. However, given the rocketing property prices in Beijing, she cannot afford to buy an apartment of her own. Misfortune always strikes twice: Winnie is then abandoned by her boyfriend, and becomes the target of malicious gossip in D.O.G., the company where she works. She is very depressed indeed.
