Features: Newton, a young man working in Beijing, a graduate from a so-called prestigious university. As he was about to graduate for a year, some changes were happening in his life unknowingly. He lived between the illusion of the internet and the weight of reality, between the nostalgia for campus life and the strangeness and fear of Beijing, between the suffocating caution in the government office and the unrestrained indulgence in urban desires. In the government office, he acted subserviently to gain the attention of superiors. To secure an overseas study opportunity, these elite graduates from top universities engaged in a battle of wit and face. They each showed their unique skills; outside the office, he wandered between several unfamiliar and familiar women. Ideal, love, friendship, reality, sex—exhausted but unable to stop.
