The film revolves around three people, a gay bar resident singing (a gay man, a wealthy lover unfortunately dies after picking up soap), a racing driver (excessive gambling, alcoholism) who escapes gambling debts and stabs a "junior high school" girl whose father runs away from home. They were never homeless people with no goals and nothing to do. They all chose to escape when they suffered major setbacks in life and could not solve them. The way to escape is to wander, look at the world but stay outside. The film begins with "Uncle Bag" saying: I want a child very much in my life. When he was receiving the relief meal, he was fantasizing about having a child in his belly, and soon his wish came true. The film seems to emphasize that the "messenger of God" child is the messenger sent by the author, and he is satisfied with everything the protagonist wants to have. The bag was emphasizing when they picked up the child, and later they also brought their own experiences into the dispute when they were arguing whether to send the child to the police station or find a biological family. In the end, the three of them went on the road to find the biological parents for the girl. The three homeless people are penniless, but every time they encounter difficulties, God's messenger will point the way. First, they find the key, unlock the lock and find the photo, and then save the rich man on the roadside, and follow the rich man to witness the shooting, racing cars. The hand met the enemy, and under the dispute, the killer who disguised himself as a woman stole the child and the girl. They go on to find more puzzles, and the interesting thing is that the driver here seems to be the director's humour. Just like the audience, going through their twists and turns is very ignorant. In the process of looking for the child, the racer who seems to have been resisting all the time works hard silently, and the girl also learns to take care of others and feel the pain of loss.
The singer finds the child, because he has no money to go back to the bar where he grew up to unlock his heart, reconcile with his mother Sang, and meet the racing driver again. Later, the singer fell ill, and the racing driver took out the savings he had saved for his daughter to treat the singer. At this time, he was lucky to see his daughter.
The singer told the girl a profound story, his favorite story is a philosophy with self-moving, just like the self-intoxication when many blindly love a person. At this time, two men are running in both directions. .
When they realized that they handed over the child to the thief, several people tried their best to save the child, and at the same time, they had subtly regarded the child as their own, and in the end, they could save her with their lives.
The ending was happy, the racer lost his family because of gambling, but also got the biggest prize. (The author endowed the animation with the beauty) The singer also let go in the process. "Compared to Miss Ah Hua, it's better to be Uncle Baozi." But he did get a daughter. The girl finally saw her father, "Angel, come back to my side." Their wandering destiny has changed from today, but it doesn't necessarily change. Although the knots in their hearts are untied, in the final analysis their characters and lives are tragic. Perhaps this is the tragic core hidden in comedy, which is very interesting but also very sad.
I have to admire Jin Min's grasp of the audience's sense of rhythm and the portrayal of small characters. A series of small events are connected to solve the contradiction, trigger the contradiction, and then solve the contradiction, which is unexpected and reasonable. It just might be more fun to get out of the way. This movie also seems to tell the audience, keep being kind, keep working hard, and God will fulfill your dreams for you!
