Director Statement

This film is centered on the growth path of a character left on the margins of his community. Zheng, young Chinese man, has left soon his studies and has worked since he was a kid.

Now that he has grown up, he manages the workers on behalf of his boss. If something goes wrong he can end up back to the factory. For this reason he has learned to be tough with the others, everything has to work smoothly. Zheng has not lived his youth.

He realizes it when he goes out by night and sees the young people having fun. He doesn’t have even a friend with whom to share those moments. This situation is unbearable for him. His duties isolate him from his own community.

He struggles between his tough image imposed by work and his urgent need of human contact. One excludes the other. Soon or later will come the moment to take a decision.
