When I watched it, it was renamed "The Crack of Love and Pain"
The protagonists of the film are 3 boys, the black boy Keir, the white boy Zack, and the Chinese boy is also the director himself Liu Bing.
This should be a documentary spanning 10 years. At the end of the film, there is a montage of 3 boys. Everyone has changed from a little kid to an adult. They have experienced hardships and confusion, and continue to live, unchanged. It's that they're still skating, they still love skating. Zack has experienced marriage, childbirth and divorce, leaving his hometown and returning to his hometown. The youthful youth began to gain weight, and he was still so happy on the skateboard.
The film's previous name was "Skateboard Boys", revealing the atmosphere of youth. Much of the film is devoted to pictures of teenagers skateboarding.
I really like these pictures. They went over the steps, through the sun, over the barricades, and on that little skateboard, enjoying their freedom and having fun.
One teenager said skateboarding was the antidote for him.
This involves the film's changed title "The Crack of Love and Pain".
In addition to skateboarding, the film is also showing the impact of family relationships on children. All three boys have been hurt in the family. They were domestically abused, abused, misunderstood, and everything became scars and branded in their hearts. When Zack became an adult and had his own child, he found that he still could not handle the family relationship well. He quarreled with his wife, separated, and left his hometown. He cried bitterly, saying that he did not know that he should educate his son.
Skateboarding is the antidote because it's something you can control when you're young, something you can do well.
