Eat a candy when you are sad, it will be sweeter. "
An orange-flavored hard candy was the first kindness that the sunny Xia Zhi gave to the gloomy Lin Zhixia.
The rooftop is their secret base. One is a quiet student who is imprisoned by family trauma and depression and relies on sugar to stay awake; the other is an art student who seems perfect but is actually bound by his mother's expectations and seeks freedom on drawing paper. Here, they share sweets and exchange unknown pains. The orange-scented wind seemed to have blown away the fog. Lin Zhixia no longer had new injuries on her wrists, and Xia Zhi's paintings also had traces of bravery. They agreed that when the oranges mature in autumn, they would pick a bag and hide them together.
However, the sharp edge of reality easily cut through this short-term warmth. Lin Zhixia's father's violence and Xia Zhi's mother's high pressure were swallowed up like shadows. The last time we met, Lin Zhixia gave Xia Zhi half a bag of candy and said, "Wait until I come back. "
But she broke her promise.
When the season of ripe oranges finally arrived, Xia Zhi walked up to the rooftop alone, holding the last candy in her hand. The wind was filled with a familiar sweet fragrance, and she seemed to hear the promise again.
"Zhixia, I'm here to keep your appointment. "
This time, can their stories usher in a painless, orange-flavored eternal spring in another world?
A heart-wrenching love song about redemption, promise and eternal pursuit. See how two girls use the sweetest taste to carve the deepest scars in their confrontation with the world.
Intention: If life is not free, then death can be the last resort. Their meeting to fall was not a passive admission of defeat, but two souls who, after seeing clearly each other's plight with nowhere to escape, chose to run together for the ultimate freedom of life and death.
