A man temporarily moves into his in-laws’ home and discovers that living under the same roof with his reserved father-in-law is governed by countless quiet rules; during the seventh lunar month, an elaborate offering table becomes the scene of a secret midnight supper, unexpectedly bringing the two men closer over stolen food and beer; their covert ritual soon expands to include a young child, until a hidden camera exposes three generations gathered around the offerings; what begins as a comic act of mischief gradually reveals the father-in-law’s understated concern for his son-in-law; when the family returns the following year, one familiar place at the table has changed, turning their once-playful tradition into a tender remembrance.
