SYNOPSIS:
From 2012 to 2020, the film spanned 8 years, depicting the lives of three protagonists from their freshman year to their graduation year of college. Within the nearly 1000 hours of recorded material, the documentary captures their genuine experiences and reflections on learning, society, parents, teacher-student relationships, and life choices. The finished product consists of 4 episodes, each lasting 35 minutes, presenting a dramatic atmosphere of struggles and conflicts. The characters' laughter, frustration, and every expression vividly portray the unrestrained spirit of youth.
The three protagonists, hailing from different families with distinct personalities—a non-conventional academic achiever, an unconventional literary girl, and a quietly determined and thoughtful obedient girl—reveal how they gradually break free from the constraints of their original families, balance ideals with reality, and discover and fulfill their own self-worth through independent thinking and judgment. Youth is authentically portrayed, proving that it is not just about growing up.
