Shower opens with a wondrous fantasy of a high-tech automated shower modelled after a modern car wash. It then slams into a vision of a traditional bathhouse. A custom thousands of years old and a culture unto itself, with its own conventions, rules and concepts, the bathhouse promotes communal equality. Stripped of clothing, daily trappings and social rank, a wide variety of characters can interact on an equal basis. But this old Beiling bathhouse, once a community necessity, now services only retirees and ne'er-do-wells who gather daily for massages, hot swims, gossip and games. Operated by ancient levers and gears, enormous boilers and leaking pipes helo together with rags and twine, it is run by an old man who cares for his stay-at-home grown son. Both have been abandoned by the elder son who seeks his fortune in the modernity of the Shenzhen economic development region. Mistakenly believing that his father has died, the errant son returns to Beiling. To his surprise, he is forced to face the responsibilities of family and deal with the problems of modernisation as they effect his persoanl experience. Directed by Zhang Yang, cast includes Zhu Xu, Pu Cun Xin and Jiang Wu.

一套中国的电影，述说三父子的故事。。。一套民间可以看到的实况。。故事的发展，三人从不了解到了解。。化解了大家的隔膜， 不过有时候事情的发生，难免意料之中，要做的东西毕竟是太迟了。。。不要犹豫面前的一切，免得后悔业没用。。
