About

Xiaoba and Xiaoyue are good friends who have been inseparable since childhood, but because of the age and work, they both have left the city where they grow up. They haven’t seen each other for a long time, and over time they don’t get in touch with each other very often. During the time apart, Xiaoba hears a lot of bad news of Xiaoyue and what has happened to her from others. Xiaoba decides to leave what she is doing and go to see Xiaoyue in the city she lives. As soon as they meet, Xiaoyue suggests going on a trip together, and Xiaoba agrees. Xiaoyue drives her car and take Xiaoba to a deserted place to start their trip. In this trip, Xiaoyue tells Xiaoba what her encounters, her troubles and some confusion. Although Xiaoba gives a lot of advice, help and companionship, but Xiaoyue is completely caught up in her own negative emotions and feels desperate for life. Xiaoba witnesses her broken, uncontrollable and crazy state. Xiaoba finally decides to help her free herself and takes a knife to end her life. Seeing Yue covered in blood, Xiaoba wakes up from her grief and finally realizes it was a dream.
