《东岸纪事》有如风俗长卷，生动地铺陈了二十世纪七十年代至八十年代末，发生于上海浦东的一系列情仇往事；以老浦东为布景，刻画了乔乔、崴崴、刀美香等一组组市井人物，勾勒他们爱欲交织、灵肉混杂的浮世人生。《东岸纪事》糅合了现代小说与中国古典小说的叙事技巧，在凝构丰富情节的同时，每有伏笔，别具深意；充分展现了作者机敏、细密而又诙谐的写作风格。

The film follows the rise and fall of a family in Shanghai. Once wealthy and capitalist, the family unraveled during the Cultural Revolution in the 1960s and 1970s. Their home, once a French concession mansion, was converted into a multi-family dwelling.

The protagonists are mainly Huirong, Zhaobai, and Jikan, who have studied business management in the USA and have returned to their hometown, Shanghai. Huirong and Zhaobai are engaged, and although three of them are close friends, problems arise when they find out that their opinions clash on the matter of what the objective for building a new China should be and what direction it should take.
