Synopsis:

Through the interconnected stories of lawyers, married couples, socially isolated individuals, children, and female journalists, this film explores the problems caused by excessive Internet use in modern society. As people become increasingly dependent on the Internet, they often neglect their families, friends, and real-life relationships. Some even find themselves in dangerous situations involving cyberbullying, privacy breaches, and online scams. The film reveals a paradox of modern society: while people long to connect with others through the Internet, they unknowingly become disconnected from the people around them in real life.

Synopsis:

The 1995 Rugby World Cup was held in South Africa. Newly elected President Nelson Mandela sought to use the power of sports to overcome long-standing racial discrimination and social divisions. Working together with rugby team captain François Pienaar, Mandela inspired a sense of unity and solidarity among the people. Through the team's dedication and determination, South Africans gradually began to overcome racial barriers and learn to respect and embrace one another. Ultimately, South Africa won the World Cup, achieving not only a sporting miracle but also demonstrating the power of sports to transcend racial boundaries and bring about positive social change.
