In Mingde Middle School, the busiest place in youth, two seemingly parallel trajectories unexpectedly intersected.
Ye Qitong, a literary girl who embraces old-fashioned Polaroids and uses her lens to capture subtle beauty, is used to quietly observing at the edge of the world. Lu Qiheng, the perfect campus male idol in the eyes of everyone, a sunny, outstanding, and dazzling star of the basketball team, is burdened with unknown family pressure, and there is alienation hidden behind his smile.
At an opening ceremony, Ye Qitong's camera accidentally captured Lu Qiheng's fleeting loneliness under his perfect mask. This "mistake" photo became a secret in her heart. When fate puts them into the same learning support group, the alienated top student and the keen observer are forced to get closer. Quiet discussions in the library, umbrellas passed in the rain, old wounds hidden by the basketball court... Ye Qitong saw the real and tired Lu Qiheng under the halo; and Lu Qiheng also found the warmth and comfort of being truly "seen" in the world Ye Qitong built with words and images.
However, the heartbeat of youth is always accompanied by growing pains. The misunderstandings caused by flamboyant suitors, the fierce conflict between family expectations and self-choice, the confusion and withdrawal under the pressure of entering higher education... One piece of Polaroid paper records their approach, throbbing, cracks and repairs. In the secret base on the abandoned attic, in the radio station with heavy rain, and in the middle of the night during the sprint for the college entrance examination, they clumsily learned to understand each other's imperfections, and faced the weight of reality together in quarrels and reconciliation.
When the smoke from the college entrance examination clears and they stand at the crossroads of choice, can they break free from the shackles of the outside world and protect their young but firm heart? This midsummer full of sweat, tears, laughter and light is not the end, but the beginning of two souls bravely moving towards a common future with unfinished marks.
This is a campus love story about "seeing" the real each other, guarding the heartbeat in the "growing pains" and embracing "unfinished" but hopeful youth.
Purpose: The most precious thrill of youth is not to meet perfection, but to see the truth through each other's imperfections, and in the pain of growth, use courage and sincerity to guard the "unfinished" but full of possibility heartbeat, and write your own chapter of growth.
