TOO HIGH

Liu Zhilei quit his job in the big city and returned to his long-unvisited hometown alone, planning to carry out material shooting. Due to the inconvenient transportation in his hometown, his unemployed father took the initiative to be his personal driver, accompanying him to travel around every corner of the hometown for shooting locations day after day. The father and son, who might have been lacking in expression in the past, gradually drew closer during the shooting trips spent with each other day and night. Amidst his father's silent companionship and careful care, Liu Zhilei also caught a glimpse of his father's rarely shown tender side.
However, for him, his hometown is both a familiar homeland etched with childhood memories and a strange place permeated with a sense of alienation after years of changes. His parents' concern and companionship are a warm comfort in the cold winter, yet they also become a pressure on his mind due to invisible expectations. Faced with the future, Liu Zhilei is filled with confusion: should he resolutely leave his hometown and head for the distance again, or choose to stay and put down roots? How should he restart his career after resigning and find a new direction? Personal predicaments intertwined with the tide of the times; he cannot see the road ahead clearly, nor does he know where the train of the times will eventually lead. Amidst this confusion and entanglement, moved by his father's tenderness, Liu Zhilei makes up his mind to honestly tell his parents the secret hidden in his heart.
