In the years 2025 and 2075, some agents travel back in time to the 1960s and 1970s in search of a hammer that contains a wealth of national origins data. During their time travels, they encounter the first Vietnamese curator who is organizing an international exhibition about national identity. The exploration of this identity, intertwined with love across time, prompts them to rebel against the system they are supposed to serve.
