Watch movie

Through skateboarding, a young man suffering from depression overcomes his fears and finds the warmth of friendship. Yang Bu Fan (Guo Zi Fan) and his dad travelled from their hometown in the South to a first-rate city in order to provide a better education for Bu Fan. Bu Fan's grades suffer because he finds it hard to adjust to his new life and starts to lose sleep. Bu Fan spots four uniquely-dressed guys playing on their skateboards. Their leader Chen Xi Wen (Emn Chen) wanted to prank Bu Fan by asking if he would like to try skateboarding. Bu Fan falls as expected, but as he was kneeling on the ground, he did not feel any pain. That night, he had the best sleep he's had in a long time. Bu Fan's dad worries that skateboarding would be a bad influence on his son and forbids Bu Fan from the sport. Through the encouragement of teacher-in-training Su Li Shan (Yin Ran), Bu Fan learns the techniques of skateboarding from Chen Xi Wen. However, an accident where Bu Fan injures Chen Xi Wen makes him extremely guilty. Bu Fan considers walking away from his newfound passion and only his loved ones can help him find the courage to stand up again.
