The story tells the story of two men and women, but mainly revolves around one of the men. Let's call him Xie Ding Nan.

Xie Dingnan is a very emotional man. His tear point is very low, and he often sheds tears while watching dramas. For this reason, he met another male protagonist, let's call him the round-faced man. The round-faced man is a nurse. He originally lived in a closed room, staying at home and taking care of his bedridden mother for a long time. One day he saw from the window of his room that people were practicing in a dance studio, and he fell in love with one of the girls. Later, the girl was in a vegetative state after a car accident, and the round-faced man was hired to look after him. He took care of her for four years, and finally raped her because he loved her. This vegetative girl was pregnant and finally woke up unexpectedly. But the round-faced man committed a crime and went to prison, and he committed suicide.

As for Xie Dingnan, he started out with a female bullfighter. As a result, the female bullfighter still wanted to return to the arms of her ex-boyfriend after spending a few years together. On the day she decided to break up, she had an accident in the bullfight and became a vegetable. It was at this time that Xie Dingnan met the round-faced man again in the hospital - he hadn't raped the dancing girl yet. They became friends. Later, the female bullfighter died, and the round-faced man raped the girl. Xie Dingnan went to prison to take care of the round-faced man and lived in his house after his death. It's the house where you can see the dance studio. Through the window, he saw that the dance girl had returned to the dance classroom, and she had recovered.

The last scene was still in a theater, where the dancing girl and the bald man watched the play together a few seats away. The bald man was in tears, and the dancing girl later comforted him. The story hints to us that something will happen to the two of them. It's a bit like Xie Dingnan continued the unfinished business of the round-faced man. Actually they are the same person.

This story is so attractive, in addition to the director's usual signature and beautiful actresses, it is mainly the male protagonist that can resonate with us. He represents the loneliness that hides in most of us, the longing for love.
