In Qingshi Alley in 1985, the old Starlight Video Hall hides the gentlest fireworks in the small town. Song Xiaoman, an independent and tenacious man, followed his brother to guard this shaky little shop. He planned carefully and steadily to support his family's livelihood.
Lu Yuanzhou, a casual and unruly boy, unexpectedly breaks into her life. He had a tight pocket and a free-spirited talk, but when he was being challenged and maliciously causing trouble in the video hall, he stepped forward time and time again to shield her from the storm. He rewrote posters and took care of the trivial matters in the shop. He was gentle and tolerant of her stubbornness, and secretly cherished her little wish to open a bookstore. The light and shadow of the film flow, the orange candies are sweet and the fragrance of gardenias fills the alleys. Two completely different boys and girls, quietly stirring in the evening breeze of the 1980s, fall in both directions.
Lu Yuanzhou, with the passion to travel far away, was unwilling to be trapped in a corner of a small town and rushed to Shenzhen to pursue his future. The young man rushed to the mountains and seas, making a return date and an agreement. The two sent letters to express their love, hoping to meet again in the future.
But things are unpredictable, the carriages and horses are far away, and a letter full of heartfelt letters is inexplicably lost. The passionate heartbeat suddenly stopped, and the agreement that no one went to and the silent parting became inexplicable regrets in the two people's hearts. In the past, the streets were full of stars, but now only one person is left waiting for the passing of time. Can the waiting that spans years be finally fulfilled? Can the missed love return as scheduled?
