The film is a four-layered story, but the setting is not complicated. The main story takes place on the fourth layer, occasionally cut back to the third layer, and the stories of other layers do not advance or develop, but only as a perspective for storytelling. . The story takes place in Europe in the 2nd and 30th. A legendary hotel lobby manager and his young protégé were accidentally involved in a dispute over family heritage. Following the collection and pursuit of a famous painting, they experienced love, murder, prison escape and war. The test finally left these experiences and wealth to a writer. The film is the director's tribute to the Austrian writer Zweig. The director stated that although the story is not necessarily related to Zweig's books, what the film pursues is the unique Eastern European atmosphere and old European feelings in the novel "Yesterday's World".
