Not a good story, but still worth watching

At first glance at the poster and introduction, I thought the plot was like this: The
male protagonist and his wife joined the ranks of shrinking people due to financial problems, but an accident caused only the male protagonist to shrink. Finally, live happily ever after.
As a result, after watching one-third of the male protagonist's wife disappeared, the male protagonist sold his mansion to live in a single apartment, and encountered a Vietnamese girl who found a "slum"
. It turns out that not everyone in Lilliput has ushered in a happy new life. After taking risks to expose this shady story to the outside world, the male protagonist finally reached the pinnacle of life.
As a result, I found out that the male protagonist and the Vietnamese girl were getting better. I thought the following plot would be like this: The
male protagonist was unhappy all day in his mid-life crisis, and when he came across a Vietnamese girl, he found that there were people who had a worse experience than him, and he was full of emotion. Qian, was moved by the strength and kindness of the Vietnamese girl and fell in love with her. The two joined hands to help the poor, and finally lived happily together. This is a love inspirational film.
It turned out that the old professor came out and announced that the human race was finished. We built an underground ark to protect the human race. Oh, it turned out to be a science fiction educational film.

Although this film combines completely unrelated plots, making it confusing to watch, the intriguing connotation and superb acting skills of the actors still make room for this film worth watching.
