Plot

Cars, a common means of transportation, play an increasingly important role in modern life. Buying a car has actually become a positive and dynamic investment. In terms of social significance and spiritual needs, it enables people to have more active exchanges with the city, which is irreplaceable by other personal investment methods. This film is based on this conception. The four people, Guo Lixing, a "stingy rich businessman", Yan Xiaolian, a "single mother contractor", Chen Bo, a "romantic petty bourgeois man", and Yi Rong, a "white-collar worker who loves online shopping", bought a "car" for different personal purposes, which triggered a series of "embarrassing" things. What is actually shown is the conflict process caused by the difference in values around the car, and the detailed portrayal of the different groups of people in urban life, involving many current social hot topics such as "carpooling", "lottery", "traffic restrictions", "Alexander" tribe, etc., adding fresh and spicy jokes, reflecting the dilemma of the protagonists in laughter and anger, and reflecting the real life of young people struggling in first-tier cities from the side.
