Older People
 
Jin Mao (played by Xiao Hutou), an octogenarian whose wife has passed away, lives alone in an old house in the suburbs of Pingxi. Despite his declining health, Taipei remains a place he can never truly integrate into. One day, Jin Mao is hospitalized again due to stomach pain, and his daughter Yuzhen (played by Huang Jiaqian) gets into yet another heated argument with her brother Yizheng (played by Xixiang) over the topic of nursing homes. However, an accident leads Jin Mao to move into a care home. Even when his grandson Kaikai (played by Cao Yanhao) shares the happy news of his upcoming wedding, it does little to lift Jin Mao’s low spirits.

The Coming
 
Takahashi Hideki (played by Masaki Okada), who works for a Tokyo food company, and his wife Kana (played by Eriko Hatsune), happily raise their 2-year-old daughter Chisa together. Hideki revels in his role as a “stay-at-home dad” and often shares parenting moments on social media. Though they appear to be a happy and picture-perfect family, the eerie past they had long forgotten begins to resurface quietly.

Kursk: The Deepest Rescue
 
The story is based on one of the deadliest submarine disasters in history—the tragedy of the Russian submarine “K-141 Kursk.” While conducting combat training, a torpedo exploded inside the Kursk, causing massive casualties within the submarine. Of the 118 crew members, only 23 survived the blast. The vessel sank to a depth of 2,000 meters in the Barents Sea, while families onshore desperately fought against bureaucracy, and the surviving crew awaited rescue with dwindling supplies of food and oxygen.

The Comedy Duo: Laurel and Hardy
 
The once world-famous comedy duo of Laurel and Hardy—known for one being overweight and the other thin—saw their popularity gradually decline over time, fading from the public eye. Facing this situation, they decide to embark on a tour in hopes of reviving their fame. Although initially drawing sparse audiences, their exceptional chemistry, humorous routines, and variety of comedic talents gradually win back the hearts of fans, eventually leading to sold-out shows. However, just then, Hardy (played by John C. Reilly) faces health issues, and deep-rooted conflicts between him and his partner Laurel (played by Steve Coogan), long buried over the years, begin to surface. Under strict warnings from doctors, Hardy decides to stop performing. But how can they, who love performing and cherish their friendship, let go of the stage they love the most...？
