White gloves are used by dealers to deal cards, to sell goods in boutique stores, and for children to perform musical instruments. However, the Vietnamese maid Manda wears red gloves to wash dirty excrement drains. As an intruder in the Glove House, what mysterious past does she have? Every year on the sixth day of September, the Fish King Festival is held in Renhai Village, a fishing village. Just like the catastrophe in Chenjiazhuang in Journey to the West, two children will be selected as "boys and girls." This year, it is two boys who complete the "sacrifice" ceremony; "I am not your boy, I am your boy." Wu Wenxia, a boy who does not want to get married, returns to her hometown to take care of her sick mother. She has to face the glacier that has stood between mother and daughter for so many years. Besides pushing each other further and further away, what else can a daughter do? "Zou Zi" collects ten southern stories, taking Chaoshan, Hong Kong, Macau and other places as the scenes, depicting the stories of characters such as young students, female workers, mad women, etc. They explore self-order and live out themselves in the old and new cultures, in the alternation of madness and rationality.
