This is a documentary about two generations of street dance. Alan, who has been dancing for 17 years, says, "I'm 34, and I'm still gonna battle! I'll keep battling until I win!" For him, street dance is his life; it flows through his veins. In the 1990s, right after Taiwan was liberated from authoritative systems, despite facing unusual social scrutiny and pressure, Alan formed the first local hip-hop group, "The Party," and even released two albums. However, the group disbanded for various reasons, and the members went their separate ways. Alan then traveled alone to Osaka, New York, Europe, and Brazil to explore different street dance cultures. He is described by his students as a madman of the street dance world. Outsiders find it hard to understand what he wants to express, let alone what he truly thinks. This film documents Alan's journey from 2007 to 2008 as he participates in a world competition in Paris. During this time, in order to raise travel funds, he was willing to teach singing and dancing, as he believed that “as a dancer, if I don't compete at least once in my life, I'll have regrets.” Another storyline follows a high school dance group called "Eight Kids" from the streets of Taipei. They are part of the new generation born in the 1990s, only half the age of Alan. This new generation faces less of the societal pressure that he did, and instead receives admiration and encouragement from those around them. What are their dreams regarding street dance? What impact has street dance had on them? A year ago, "Eight Kids" made a pact to return to the dance scene after their college entrance exams to face the upcoming street dance competition. Will they all find happiness in the end with a beautiful conclusion? If they win the championship, will their lives change as a result? Is it possible that the passionate dreams of youth only happen once, and are just a summer's dream? Perhaps in the end, the heartfelt reflection is best summed up by team member YA, who lightly states, "It feels like this summer was not wasted." The spirit of hip-hop doesn't require too much sentimentality or seriousness. In short, just keep dancing.
