The biggest Asian film hit since the Oscar-winning Parasite is a stunningly shot and masterfully acted blend of an intense school bullying drama and a raw yet breathtakingly beautiful Romeo and Juliet-style love story. Chen Nian (the brilliant Zhou Dongyu) attends a school ruled by a violent gang of bullies. When one of their victims dies as a result of escalating harassment, Chen Nian is horrified to realize that she is their next target. The gang leader takes the bullying to extreme levels. Desperate for protection, Nian turns to the mysterious Xiao Bei (pop star and actor Jackson Yee) so she can focus on preparing for her crucial university entrance exams. “You protect the world. I will protect you," Bei tells her. Based on Jiu Yuexi's bestselling novel, this innovative and visually striking cinematic experience is a compelling mix of stylized romance and a sharp critique of school bullying. At its heart are two young souls who vow to protect each other when the adults around them fail to do so.
