Shower

The movie is about an old bathhouse, which is a traditional spa for men in China. The spa is ran by Old Liu and his son who is mentally challenged Liu Erming. They have a steady clientele who consists of retired workers who spend a big portion of their days in the bathhouse. Liu and Erming provide services such as massages and pedicures and from time to time their customers make crickets fight which they take very seriously. One day his oldest son Liu Daming shows up to the bathhouse after receiving a picture his young brother had sent him and he came thinking his dad had passed away. During the time that he is there he gets to witness the bond that his dad and his brother have over the business and how they enjoy every minute of it, to the extend that it has become their lives and the customers their family. Daming plans to quickly return home to his wife and job but stays for a couple days longer due to some inconveniences. One day Old Liu passes away while taking a shower and Erming doesn't know how to take the news and wants to keep doing what his dad would do. Daming not knowing what to do and scared of his wife's reaction if he would bring his brother home he decides to take him to a mental facility where he leaves him but quickly returns for him and takes him back to the bathhouse. At this same time the bathhouse is to be demolished since a new mall will be opened in that area. The movie ends with the brothers and the customers visiting the bathhouse one last time.
One of the theme of the movie is family, the special bond that Liu and his younger son had was unbelievable as well as their passion for running the bathhouse. Another theme was disability, even though Erming didn't know how to do anything he was perfectly capable of helping run the bathhouse when he was there. 
At the beginning I was skeptical of the movie but once I saw crickets fighting I knew it was no ordinary bathhouse. The environment was very cozy even though it consisted of mainly inside the bathhouse and watching a lot of older men taking showers almost naked.
