In a coastal city where the sea breeze and the aroma of coffee intertwine, the bluestone road in the old fishing port reconstruction area hides the collision and blending of two worlds.
Shen Yu, the heir to the Shen family's business empire, is the core cog in the precision-operated business machine. He is used to measuring the world with contracts and data. The cuffs of his suit are always crisp, and the lights in the conference room are more familiar than the sunshine at the beach. But under the strict shell, he has always been trapped in the shackles of the identity of "heir", questioning what his "self" will look like after stripping away the family halo, and has a secret and restrained desire for freedom.
Lin Yanzhi is a painter who wanders in the light and shadow of the fishing port. The canvas bag is stained with salt particles from the waves and mottled paint. His studio is hidden deep in an alley covered with bougainvillea. The paintings include the wood grain of old fishing boats, the wrinkles at the corners of fishermen's eyes, and the hazy lighthouse in the rain and fog. He uses his paintbrush to fight against the utilitarianism of the world, but he also oscillates between the purity of art and the triviality of reality, confused as to whether "persisting on oneself" is just a naive obsession.
During an accidental inspection, Shen Yu opened the door of Lin Yanzhi's studio. The crisp suit rubs against the wet canvas, and the calm business gaze hits the hot vitality in the painting - two souls that never seem to meet are bound by this fishing port where the old and the new are intertwined. They watched the sunset on the boardwalk of the old fishing port, chatted among the paint piles in the studio, and saw each other's inner struggles and desires amid the tug of business plans and artistic ideals. Shen Yu began to learn to touch the temperature beyond numbers, and Lin Yanzhi tried to accept reality in purity, and this fishing port eventually became the coordinate system for them to jointly search for "self", witnessing a romantic pull of growth, understanding and love.
