A synopsis of a play
A family of four unexpectedly started a truck trip with laughter and tears. Zhou Donghai (Qiao Shan), a truck driver, is very pessimistic about her future son-in-law Wan Yifan (Adam). In order to win the favor of the future father-in-law, if the sail tries harder, it will also "roll over." Her prospective mother-in-law Khomeimei (Mary) and her daughter Zhou (Zhang Jingyi) also tried their best to mediate the couple.
One thousand sail unlucky, can pass the test of future father-in-law Zhou Donghai on the journey. The proper definition of the film's value orientation is very accurate. Zhou Donghai is not allowed to evaluate Yifan from the secular income, real estate and other aspects, but from the different styles of dealing with people.
