Winter Vacation
Watch TrailerAn ordinary village in Northern China, the last day of the winter vacation. Four idle, aimless adolescents gather at Zhou Zhixin's home, a friend who lives with his father, brother and nephew. Like most contemporary teenagers, these youths want to enjoy their last day of holiday and simply hang out in this place where nothing ever seems likely to happen. Their conversations are desultory and they sometimes seem to argue for argument's sake. One of them, Laowu, talks frankly with his girlfriend about how teenage love might affect their studies, while Laobao questions school's value and relevance to real life.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Li Hongqi constructs the frame as a quiet observational camera, capturing the micro-movements of boredom and unspoken anxiety. He explores the space of pause—this final day of freedom before the return to rigid structure—relying on minimalist dialogue and long static shots.
What lingers after viewing is a sense of gentle melancholy and recognition of one's own transitional states. The film acts as a mirror for those life moments when the future has not yet arrived and the past is already slipping away. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Li Hongqi
Best Watched
Watch on a quiet evening in a contemplative mood, without expecting active plot movement.
