The film primarily uses metaphor to express the life paths of modern individuals. From birth, the protagonist is burdened with expectations from his parents, who also emulate other families in "tiger parenting." As he grows up, the chicken that has accompanied him since childhood gradually becomes unable to "push" him any further. The protagonist begins to reflect and embarks on his own life journey. Along the way, he observes various relationships between people and chickens (social relationships or societal phenomena). Later, he encounters Laozi and Zhuangzi, seeking answers from them.
