Look Love closely follows the lives of two families living in completely different environments. As anthropological research, it observes a father and a son living in a remote village in Hunan and a mother and a daughter living in Beijing. The two kids, Lin-sen and Xin-yuan who were born in the transition period of a millennium, live under totally different circumstances from each other. Being poor, Lin-sen's father doesn't feed his children or educate them. Lin-sen goes to an elementary school run by a charity but has a hard time adapting. Xin-yuan, meanwhile, goes to an expensive private school and is suffocated by her mother's ambition.
