In the cold of December, in the heart of Geneva, the Fuji restaurant is preparing to close its doors forever. Its owner, Tingting, recounts the intimate bond she has formed with this place, which she sees as her own child. Her husband Desheng, the head chef, talks about the challenges and strains in their relationship. As the last customers savour their fortune cookies, each person faces the farewell in their own way.
