The Breaking Ice

In cold wintry Yanji, a city on China's northern border, young urbanite Haofeng, visiting from Shanghai, feels lost and adrift. By chance, he goes on a tour led by Nana, a charming tour guide who instantly fascinates him. She introduces him to Xiao, a personable but frustrated restaurant worker. The three bond quickly over a drunken weekend. Confronting their individual traumas, their frozen desires slowly thaw as they seek to liberate themselves from an icy world.
Simple story, but I think it connects with people, especially in our generation who seem to always be dealing with some form of loneliness. This movie is just a story of how people can find comfort with others even when dealing with their own shortcomings.
