Good Rain Knows Its Season (好雨知时节)

Shi Sui, a hotel manager, discovers her husband's affair with yoga instructor Su Qin. The next day, she takes the evidence and knocks on the door of Su Qin's husband, Song Zhijie, a reserved and gentle medical professor who has also been betrayed. Both choose to end their broken marriages with dignity, without hysterics or revenge. Divorced and wounded, they separately travel to Dali, Yunnan to heal. There, by the shores of Erhai Lake and under the blooming jacaranda trees, the two strangers meet again. Through quiet encounters and gentle companionship, they slowly let down their guards, heal each other's wounds, and find a new beginning together.
