On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2020, Zhou Xiaozhou, who was about to graduate from graduate school, returned to Raozhou exhausted. The coldness and alienation of the reorganized family and the cold reality of his father Zhou Bingwu made him never feel the warmth of home, and he only wanted to escape from this suffocating hometown.
A sudden epidemic accidentally trapped him in the attic on the top floor of his old love Xu Shanshan. Two young people who also lacked love in their original families and hit a wall in reality cuddled up for a short time, reliving the poverty and tenderness of their youth. But the endless emptiness under the lockdown made Zhou Xiaozhou step by step fall into the abyss of online gambling.
From the initial fluke of just wanting to win back 10,000 yuan, to the collapse of borrowing 70,000 yuan, he was repeatedly pulled between the ecstasy of winning money and the madness of losing money, and was finally dragged into the quagmire by desire. Destiny once quietly changed due to the pronunciation of a word, a quarrel, and a car accident. Now, due to an epidemic and greed, the trajectory of life has been completely rewritten.
This is a period of youth that has been pressed on pause by the epidemic, a sinking of desire and redemption. It is also a true portrayal of countless ordinary young people struggling and lost in the torrent of the times and the shackles of their origin, but still wanting to live.
