Synopsis:
A Chinese migrant worker returns home to his wife and daughter to celebrate the Chinese New Year. Told in the voice of his toddler daughter, she is at first uncomfortable seeing him after so long but then warms up to him. She describes the close family celebration during their few days together before he leaves again for another year. A custom using a lucky coin leads to a heartwarming ending between father and daughter.
