About The Boy Who Counted Cars
Have you ever felt incredibly alone in the world? Have you ever suspected that everything around you is unreal? Ah Zhi is a strange young man who spends his spare time searching for evidence that this world is a virtual world. He spends his spare time searching for proof that this world is a virtual one, until the appearance of a quirky girl named Xiao Yi, who makes him almost give up on the search for the truth. Through the fast-igniting love between Ah Zhi and Xiao Yi, life seems so romantic and real. But is Xiao Yi an NPC in a virtual game or the perfect lover in real life, and can they live happily ever after in this world? ......
Directed by Yim Linq, The Boy Who Counted Cars leans on a strong ensemble — Roy Wang, Wen Qi, Wen Moyan — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
