In 2023, Lin Xiaoman returns to her grandmother's old house to sort through belongings and stumbles upon a dusty VHS tape labeled "Millennium Confession"—on it, 17-year-old Chen Mo clutches a crumpled note, standing under the red lanterns at the 2000 school gate, his voice trembling: "I’ll wait for you on the playground. Let’s count the stars at midnight on New Year’s Eve." But back then, she had to move away overnight due to her parents’ sudden divorce, not even getting to say goodbye. What’s more surprising? The owner of the new retro video game store downstairs is a Chen Mo with the same shaggy hair, who can fix a Famicom console. When he pulls out a fruit candy wrapper he’s kept for 23 years (the exact one Xiaoman gave him), and when the Contra soundtrack plays again, will those frozen heartbeats from the past restart in the warm glow of millennium-style neon?
