Synopsis

In a Chinese statues game, when a child writes the character, the others can move, and they can't after the child finishing one. The world seems to be static to him at that time. If a child is accidentally trapped in the still world while playing the game, what will he do? We always hope to control time, so that we can enjoy the moment we most want to exist, enjoy the eternal joy, and avoid problems we don't want to face. However, the world cannot be as simple as childhood games. Time moves forward like a river, and never stops for any reason, even one frame. Grasping the present and moving forward is the only way for us to survive.
