    • Synopsis
    • Frustrated realities of Generation Z in unforgiving contemporary China, exposed to consumerism and obsessed with looking younger. Stray youngsters wander in a gigantic, shiny, alluring multi-story shopping mall with countless elevators and escalators in twin skyscrapers named “Global Harbor” in Shanghai. The mall opens at 10 am to offer dozens of distractions, and temptations for a whole worthless day in a surreal indoor space with fake snowflakes.
      Two melancholic stories may be watched in any order to varying perspectives and interpretations. Wannabe architect Yoyo has a crush on break-dancing instructor Lan Tian. She persistently follows him with calm apathy. On possibly the next or previous day Lan Tian is obsessed with the cosmetics salesgirl. He shyly but firmly observes unsuspecting Yoyo from a distance and uses a phone to zoom in on her to record memories.
