Trailer

Wang Miao visits Ding Yi, Yang Dong's grieving fiancée, who recounts, in an odd game of billiards, Yang Dong's frustration at the extreme variability of the particle accelerator results, as well as her disturbed reaction at the evidence in Prof. Munphy's death. Wang Miao reluctantly accepts his invitation in The Frontiers of Science and witnesses a group member's psychological deterioration when faced with the group's main hypothesis – that mankind occupies a realm of existence, the viewpoint of which dooms it into inevitable ignorance about the full nature of reality, forever stuck at the frontier of science. Later, at Yang Dong's funeral, he meets her mother – Ye Wenjie, and gives her the photograph he took of her daughter, but notices an odd timestamp on it, and promises to give her the correct one. However, at his home studio, he discovers that all his photos have a similar timestamp. After experimenting, he concludes that the timestamps are a countdown that ends in 49 days.
