Chen Pipi, a soccer team captain who couldn't care less about studying, comes from a single-parent home with a beautiful, tough-as-nails mother. Day after day he matches wits with her, yet through each of their 'battles' a forbidden feeling quietly takes root. Told with humor and wit, childhood sweethearts, teachers and students, and even a future mother-in-law all get drawn into the fray, where desire and tenderness intertwine—a front-row seat to watch a boy grow up wild in love and lust.
