About the film:

The main character Qinghong is a 19 year old student living with her overly protective father, mother and younger brother in a typical small apartment. Her 'boyfriend' is Honggen, a working local boy who plays only a minor role in the film and develops an obsession with Qinghong, to her father's contempt. Confiding in her best friend Xiao Zhen, Qinghong strives for love and independence.
