The movie "Winter Goes, Spring Comes" currently airing is receiving attention from audiences who love real-life drama. The work revolves around a group of young people from many regions flocking to Beijing, carrying artistic aspirations but facing countless difficulties in their livelihoods.
The center of the story is a small boarding house, where strangers gradually become each other's spiritual support. They struggle with rent, career opportunities rejected, or have to accept temporary jobs to survive. However, the desire to pursue their passion helps them not give up, gradually finding a foothold in their own field.
One of the highlights of the film is the investment in the production crew. The work is co-directed by Trinh Hieu Long and Ly Ngang, the script is written by Cao Man Duong - names behind many famous TV series. This contributes to ensuring the quality of content, from the storytelling rhythm to the psychological depth of the characters.
In terms of acting, Bach Vu impressed when he lost up to 15kg to transform into a poor screenwriter pursuing ideals. His character appears with a thin, hardworking but powerful appearance, truthfully reflecting the life of young people clinging to big cities. Meanwhile, Chuong Nhuoc Nam scored points with the image of a female singer making a living on small stages, willing to appear with a bare face to increase the authenticity of the role.
Not only stopping at personal stories, the film also recreates the space of Beijing in the 1990s in detail. From old alleys, coal stoves, bicycles to familiar items of this period are meticulously restored, bringing a clear sense of nostalgia.
Besides, "Winter goes, Spring comes" chooses a different direction when not exploiting romantic love stories in the style of "romance", but focusing on human love in adversity. Simple meals, help in times of difficulty become the main material, creating close emotions with the audience.
The film also gathers a cast of many generations, from young actors like Lam Duan, Vuong Ngan Lam to veteran faces like Dien Vu, Dinh Dung Dai, creating a balance in acting and depth for the work.
With a close story, realistic storytelling and a cast of talented actors, "Winter Goes, Spring Comes" is expected to become one of the notable films of Chinese cinema in 2026.
