Features: Guo Jingming and the "Tsuji" Studio collaborated with the Japanese up-and-coming director Shunji Iwai to create this new work. Memory and illusion intertwine, gentleness and cruelty clash! In the vast and tranquil expanse of the sky, can you hear my cries? Can it accommodate my youth? A cruel coming-of-age story, an innocent era that belongs to us! The story takes place at the far end of the vast and tranquil pastoral scenery. Kenichi Renji, who silently endures bullying from classmates, gradually becomes self-enclosed and aloof.

That night, when Lily Zhou's music plays, at the intersection of reality and illusion, it explodes into a cruel coming-of-age story.
