A humanities drama in a sci-fi coat

Ring Story is the first sci-fi drama I watched this year. As a senior sci-fi fan, every time a new sci-fi themed work is released, I have to have a sneak peek, but I waited for more than a year to start watching this one.

This drama did not disappoint me either. It is definitely the most poetic sci-fi drama. Every frame of the film is like a work of art, with an extremely unique and unified artistic style. Artistically speaking, it is definitely a visual enjoyment.

This play has 8 short stories, each episode has a very interesting meaning. The background of the story takes place in a small Nordic town, and a physics laboratory called "Ring" is built underground in the town, dedicated to Explore the mysteries of the universe. The 8 stories basically revolve around a family in a small town, each episode has a main character, and the stories are relatively independent but interrelated. Each episode sparks your thoughts on family, love, friendship, life, and human nature.

I liked the second episode of this show the most, and it was also the most tragic episode in this show. Two good friends found a device in the woods that could swap their bodies. With the wish to successfully enter the laboratory as the other party, Danny chose to refuse to exchange his body, but he did not expect the irreversible result of the collapse of the two families. Human nature is inherently selfish and selfish, and family and friendship sometimes become vulnerable.

The play also talks about a black doorman who has always been alone but travels to another parallel world to see his happiness, an Asian student who wants to keep the beautiful moments in still time, and teaches his grandson how to face his imminent departure. The grandfather, the father who did everything to protect his daughter, etc.
