The car, this ordinary means of transportation, plays an increasingly important role in modern life. Buying a car has practically become a proactive dynamic investment, facilitating more active communication between people and the city in terms of social significance and spiritual needs, which cannot be replaced by other forms of personal investment. This film starts from this perspective, as four individuals with different personal goals—“stingy businessman” Guo Lixing (Guo Degang), “single mom contractor” Yan Xiaolian (Wang Yinan), “flirtatious petty bourgeois man” Chen Bo (Xu Shaoyang), and “online shopping fanatic white-collar worker” Yi Rong (Zhang Xinyu)—group purchase a car, leading to a series of “awkward” incidents. The film effectively showcases the process of conflicts arising from differing values surrounding cars, intricately portraying the diverse lives of various urban demographics, addressing many current hot topics such as “carpooling," “lottery system," “traffic restrictions,” and “Alexander” community, infused with sharp humor that reflects the protagonists' predicaments, thereby indirectly revealing the real living conditions of young people striving in first-tier cities.
