A Japanese drummer comes to Beijing with his troupe to perform, and when he is poor in inspiration, he mistakenly enters a century-old bathhouse. In the bath, the sorrowful Shota was attracted by the rhythm of the bathhouse owner Wang Fushun's back-patting, and the sound and rhythm were connected, Shota found new creative inspiration in the old bathhouse, and formed a friendship with Wang Fushun, who is nearly eighty years old. With the bathhouse as his instrument and the human voice as his companion, Shota performs a unique percussive extravaganza for him alone.
