这部纪录片跟随一位在大化长大的16岁高中生，记录他的日常生活。一次普通的放学回家路上，他谈起自己对这座小县城的情感，也分享对外面世界的想象。在这个刚刚脱离贫困县的地方，高考被视为唯一“走出大山”的途径，仿佛去往大城市，才是人人向往的生活。然而，当脚步不断向外延伸，一个更深的问题也慢慢浮现：真正让人向往的地方，究竟在哪里？

This documentary follows a 16-year-old high school student who grew up in Dahua, capturing the rhythms of his everyday life. On an ordinary walk home from school, he speaks about his tangled feelings for this small county town, and shares his quiet imaginings of the world beyond. In a place only recently lifted out of poverty, the gaokao is seen as the one and only road “out of the mountains”—as if leaving for a big city were the life everyone is supposed to long for. Yet the farther his footsteps reach outward, the more a deeper question begins to surface: Where, after all, is the place that truly calls us home?
