Sinopsis

Suwei is a teenage hermit with an overprotective mother and an addiction to video games. One day, another young man penetrates SuweiâÇÖs hermetically sealed existence, and the two wander deep into the labyrinth of DiabloâÇÖs virtual world. As Suwei and this enigmatic interloper, Li Wen, form an unspoken bond, secrets are laid bare, layer by layer: the damage done to Suwei and his motherâÇÖs guilt, and Li WenâÇÖs own gruesome past. These two boys, neither of whom ever really grew up, find themselves on a collision course, drawn inexorably together by an undeniable truth: There is no escaping a motherâÇÖs love.
