In cold wintry Yanji in northern China, visiting urbanite Haofeng feels lost and adrift. By chance he meets Nana, a tour guide who instantly fascinates him. She introduces him to Xiao, a personable but frustrated restaurant worker. The trio bond quickly over a drunken weekend, fuelled by a bit of lust. Confronting their individual traumas, their frozen desires slowly thaw as they seek to liberate themselves from an icy world. A reflection of the director’s existential crisis during the pandemic, the film is also a mirror to the Chinese lost, frustrated youth generation.
