Xiao Xin‘s family decided to move back to China from Argentina. They sent Xiao Xin to Brazil to live with her aunt, Linin, and her workers at the 22nd floor of a luxurious building. Fu Ang, was a fisherman, now works for Aunt Linlin. After saving enough money, Fu Ang opens his own umbrella shop, just before the rainy season starts. Altough Xiao Xin resists the relationship with Fu Ang, they build up a kind of friendship. But when a watermelon falls from one of the high-rise windows and barely misses the two of them, things start to change. Xiao Xin disappears from the city. What shouldn’t happen in a screenplay occurs constantly in the lives of the immigrant workers.

當小欣的家人決定從阿根廷搬回家鄉後,卻將她送去巴西的阿姨處。琳琳阿姨一家和工人住在一棟豪華大廈的22樓。即使不懂葡萄牙語,小欣也感覺到巴西富裕階級的不友善。為琳琳阿姨工作的福安在老家時是漁夫,他和其他工人一起住在公寓裏。他拼命工作,很少休息。當他賺夠了錢,在雨季來臨前開了家雨傘店,卻莫名其妙地再也不下雨了。雖然小欣有點抗拒與福安的關係再進一步,但二人還是成為了好朋友。可是,當一個西瓜從大廈高處墜落,在他們腳邊碎裂時,事情發生變化。小欣消失了⋯⋯「莫名其妙的消失」看似不合常理的事,在移工的生活中卻不斷發生。
