1. After the movie started, a group of people, including a middle-aged man who collects underwear, gambles every day, a middle-aged woman with financial constraints, and a young heroine Elena have their own troubles in their daily lives. The middle-aged woman buys some vegetables and fruits. The middle-aged man said he was under great pressure, and the heroine Elena was very worried and was about to go on a date because he couldn't find a boyfriend. However, they were all alive, living in the crowd, with expectations, and more. Disappointed, but alive while complaining.

2. The heroine Elena was talking on the phone and walking on the crowded street. She only paid attention to her own phone communication and ignored the living conditions of the people around her. A middle-aged woman handed her a flower and grass that seemed to be a mascot. Then she took it casually, and threw it back immediately, not paying attention to the woman who had just given her the mascot, nor the flower. Then the woman who handed her the flowers began to abuse her because she was supposed to sell them instead of giving them away for free on the street. Women call Elena a lost tooth, a bitch, and curses and moral condemnation for those who don't fulfill our desires.

3. A dirty and sloppy person slept in a garbage dump on the street and was chased away by two policemen. He belonged to the marginalized of society and was a representative of abnormal human beings. The abnormal human here refers to people who are different from the above people. All have certain economic ability, and have their own desires and pains. In a certain way, he is a sociopath, someone who does not live according to social rules and social concepts.

4. All of these are presented in a noisy street, and the director shows the daily life of each person in a very short period of time. All of them will enter an emergency, anomalous living environment.

5. The hostess Elena's phone battery was dead. She pushed open the glass door of a bar and wanted to borrow a charger. Everyone looked at her, so she quickly scanned everyone's situation. The bartender was very enthusiastic and took out a lot. The cable, said that it is left over by the guests, people always lose things in their lives.

6. Suddenly a homeless man broke in, shouting and slamming on the glass door. He was just driven away by the police, and the female boss reassured him, and he was temporarily stable.

7. A middle-aged fat man coughed into the bar and pointed to the toilet to the boss, explaining that he was not here for consumption. Others hated his cough because he coughed very badly. The boss thought he was here to borrow the toilet. I hate that kind of person who makes a mess of the toilet without consuming. He tells everyone that if he uses the toilet and does not consume, he will have to mop his face, which is actually threatening others to consume.

8. The middle-aged woman walked straight into the bar. Obviously she was very familiar with it. She took out the money she just prepared to pay for groceries but didn't pay for change. She used the change to go to the gambling machine to gamble, while the male protagonist used it like no one else. Headphones shield the external world and immerse yourself in the world of yourself. Then the middle-aged man entered the bar with an exquisite briefcase with a password.

9. Before the heroine Elena entered the bar, the camera position was not fixed. The follow-up shooting method was adjusted according to the behavior of the heroine Elena, and the situation of each person was scanned in a concentrated and rapid manner, highlighting the characteristics of each person. Haste, implying the messiness and disorder of society.

10. After the heroine Elena entered the bar, the camera position was not fixed, and everyone was scanned with different shooting angles.

11. Suddenly, gunshots rang out outside the bar. Pedestrians on the street were very frightened. A man fell to the ground. Blood flowed from his head to the ground. It looked like a very brutal killing act with a headshot. This is an emergency, everyone looks out, except for the male protagonist who is still immersed in his own world, people are terrified and know nothing about the situation outside. Suddenly the bustling crowd on the street was gone, empty.

12. The gambling woman was very frightened and kept crying there; the tramp used a religious way to bless the dead.

13. The sanitation workers who went out to rescue were also shot in the head and fell to the ground; this time, the people hiding in the bar were even more panicked, hiding and prostrate on the ground.

14. Whitebeard was dissatisfied with the behavior of the homeless before. When everyone was crawling on the ground to prevent being shot, only the homeless was still standing there. Above ground, it is the enforcement of antisocial behavior by social conformity. When the tramp made his comments, Whitebeard stopped him, but the tramp said he could do whatever he wanted, and I said whatever I wanted, no one could care about me. He said he had something to do, go to church, get up and get out of the bar, which is the fearless spiritual power that religion gives. The bar owner persuaded the homeless to live in by arranging food. The homeless had two purposes, one was religion, and the other was basic material means of subsistence. When everyone watched in horror at the murder scene outside the bar, he came from the bar. Take out the wine to drink inside, not paying attention to the situation outside. When the bar owner promised to give him food, he listened very obediently to the bar owner and stopped going to church. He has always succumbed to other needs before material temptations.

16. With some consent, they turned on the TV and there was no news about two people being shot in the street, and then they started to rationalize why it wasn't reported. First of all they expected that the TV show should, or would cover the event, which is why they turned on the TV. One explanation is that the news hasn't arrived on the hour, one is that the murderer has not been caught, so it will not be reported; if it is reported, many idiots will come to see the scene; According to his experience, there was a robbery here last time, and this empirical speculation has no basis, because he did not see the murderer grab anything, but directly shot and killed;

18. First of all, the gambling girl found that the bodies of the two people who had just died were gone, and the picture was cut to the TV show. In fact, this scene means that everyone wants to divert their attention, but such a horrific incident cannot be diverted.

21. Whitebeard thinks that the two people who have just been shot were killed randomly, not a way of killing someone with a specific target, but the heroine said that they were not shot randomly, there may be some kind of relationship between them, clean What is the relationship between sanitation workers and office workers? Whitebeard denies their connection; as long as someone walks out of the bar and is shot to death, Whitebeard concludes that the killer must be outside; the man in the panties thinks the murderer may also be in the bar, because the police are chasing people inside the bar, he continues It is speculated that the people in the bar may be terrorists. In order to eliminate the terrorists, the police would rather shoot all the people who came out. It can be seen how dangerous this terrorist is, and why the people on the street disappeared because they were forcibly evacuated by the police; and further It is speculated that the terrorists are carrying explosive packs,

22. The male protagonist heard that it was a dynamite bag, and his expression became unnatural, because he brought a backpack, and then he tried to move the backpack with his feet many times to avoid being seen by others, but ultimately failed;

23. Regarding the speculation that terrorists placed explosive packs, the heroine objected, and believed that the government would not give up the lives of 8 people because of terrorists, while the man in underwear said that if sacrificing 8 people can save 200 people, 500 people, then the government will not give up 8 people's lives. What will be done? The homeless said that something similar happened in Chechnya before.
