SYNOPSIS

Nineteen years old and jobless best friends Qiaoqiao and Binbin spend lots of time just hanging around. Xiao Ji puts the move on pretty Qiao Qiao, a dancermodel with a thug boyfriend. Bin Bin is considering enlisting in the army but is not overly convinced it may be his only way out. For a nonchalant generation that sees the future dictated by financial gain, it's sometimes too difficult to resist the temptation of easy money. Especially when they don't see the point of living past 30.
