In the 1990s, a group of students on the campus of the Chinese Southern Academy of Arts are pursuing their studies and preparing to face the world. China is opening up to the West and the students’ lives are a tangle of love stories and friendships, artistic research, ideals and ambitions brought about by new influences. Caught between tradition and modernity, they have to decide who they want to become.

I was scrolling through the comments and i found people criticise the film because of the swallow dialogue and thesis on art, emotions and life in general. Actually many conversations about art are definitely swallow, not deepening and just spitting quotes and waves. But somehow i found it very true to its nature, a student's nature. Actually this is the way most of students are... swallow, uncreative and unoriginal but they try to be the opposite. They search meaning and a way to differentiate themselves and create. All that while trying not to fail. So i really liked it's chill daily-like plot and the connection with the characters
