Retired teacher Zhou Xiulan has lived in her old courtyard for thirty years, with her most cherished possession being the Chinese toon tree—planted by her late husband. Things take a turn when Lin Xiaoman, a Gen Z owner of a popular homestay, rents the next room and insists on cutting the tree to expand a "check-in terrace," triggering a "courtyard war" between two generations. However, as Xiaoman helps Zhou find her long-lost student after a decade, Zhou teaches Xiaoman to make the osmanthus cake from her memories, and together they throw a lively 70th birthday party for the lonely Uncle Zhang—when Xiaoman's homestay accidentally goes viral for its "old courtyard warmth," they finally realize: "Love filling the small courtyard" isn't about clinging to the past; it's about weaving new stories into the old walls.
