The movie "Where to Grow" tells the story of an 18-year-old rebellious teenager Cheng Fei (played by Yue Xiaoke), who accidentally found a missing person notice of a long-missing female netizen named "Swallowtail Butterfly" - He Sheng (played by Shang Yuxian) collected by his father at home, and gradually discovered that his connection with her was far more than just the Internet. He Sheng mysteriously disappeared, He Sheng's eccentric and lonely mother (played by Alia), and Cheng Fei's father (played by Zhao Yanguozhang) who was deeply buried in lies. From rebelling against the family to discovering the "her" who had disappeared deep inside, the truth came to light and the hidden pain of the original family was revealed.

Director Long Lingyun once revealed in an interview that the inspiration for "Where to Grow" came from his thoughts on the only-child generation and the experience of female friends around him being oppressed by the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls. The film uses a "pseudo-suspense perspective" of multiple timelines to show the profound impact of the original family on personal growth and choices in the process of the characters exploring family secrets. At the same time, the film also explores the sacrifices and struggles of women in a patriarchal society, as well as the courage and choices of the new generation of young people when faced with the constraints of traditional concepts.
