在满洲里,一个比北方更北的城市,有着一名男性性工作者。又一年的新年快到了,他的生活却依然捉衿见肘。他在春节前回到老家,在仅剩的家人面前伪造出体面的职业和生活,与之相处融洽,却始终无法与自己的内心和解。在北方白茫茫的荒原上,他作出了无法挽回的选择……
In Manzhouli, a city north of north, there was a male sex worker. Another Chinese New Year was approaching, but his life was still stretched to the limit. He returned his hometown before the Spring Festival, faking a decent career and life in front of his remaining family. He got along well with them, however, never reconciled with his own heart. In the white wilderness of the north, he made an irrevocable choice... The film is almost devoid of dialogue, relying entirely on visual language to communicate with the audience. It abandons the mainstream visual expression of actively conveying information to the audience. Instead, it uses documentary-style filming to record the reality of the environment without fiction and calmly captures the main character's state of mind through one fixed long shot after another, breaking the conventional narrative method.
