Story:
There was an outrageous news story in this city where a bus was driving on the wrong side of the road. But no one was paying attention ...... So we raised our cameras, brought our microphones, and wandered the streets for random interviews. Unconsciously, we found that truth and fiction, history and reality began to intertwine, and in memory, lies began to spread like a virus, and slowly we discovered the disconnect between the self and the other, as well as the funny thing about life.

Director‘s Statement:
The story was inspired by a brainstorming session where it was known that buses don't go the wrong way, but what if they do? Why would it go wrong? And the hidden connection between buses and the modern social order. Scholars have scholars' interpretations, people have people's curiosity, artists have artists' understanding, and some are indifferent. As for how did the bus go wrong? Or what to do when it goes wrong? This is a kind of caution and crisis awareness that should be maintained in each of our hearts. So we all work together to create a pseudo-documentary film to complete a nonsensical story that starts from and ends in absurdity.
