This story is a brutal high school event based on several real-life incidents with the director and screenwriter's initial life impressions as the motivation. Set against the backdrop of the college entrance exam, the film tells a realistic and absurd story related to fate and death, reflecting the ethical allegory of the survival of ordinary people in modern China from a special perspective. The main character does something incomprehensible but justified in order to break the class, which conveys the proposition that the creators want to explore what kind of fruits the flower of utilitarianism will bloom on the one-way road from family to class in China and even in the world. The movie also reflects on the generalized anxiety of the Chinese people in their lives and their treatment of the college entrance exam. Although the story is tragic and even a bit cruel, the play reveals humanistic concern in its sadness, and the story is noirishly absurd in its realist tone. The overall kernel is inspirational and warm, while at the same time has a painted personal destiny direction. All the characters are seeking identity through deception. The story is not about the ending, not about merit, not about the college entrance exam. What the director hopes to convey is that no matter what the adversity is, reconciliation with oneself, reconciliation with one's family, no matter what the class is, no matter whether one can break the class or not, life will roll forward. This is the core theme of the movie.
Adapted from a real news story, the film centers on a family's sudden change of heart: on the eve of the college entrance exams, Yoko's father, who is repeating the exams, dies accidentally. In order to prevent the child's mood from being affected by the exam, the mother and the extras decide to keep it a secret for the time being. They hide their pain and pain, and use all sorts of falsehoods and well-intentioned lies to conceal the fact of her father's death. However, there are irreconcilable conflicts and secrets between the family and friends with different personalities. A group of people with different personalities and experiences must let go of the tangled and intertwined knots and contradictions, and together they stick to the well-intentioned lies until the end. The witty process of concealment is full of loopholes and accidents, which repeatedly make the participants' hearts skip a beat. Finally, Yoko has to face the choice of entering life and the truth when the college entrance exams begin. A group of ordinary people who have nothing to do with this family will usher in this impossible task - "Turn the dead into the living! Let Yoko successfully complete the college entrance exam."
