這是一個關於新疆維族的少年們如何面對青春與成長的故事。
 
冬雪,十七歲的艾達爾高考失利,父親早亡的他儘管酷愛跑酷,但家庭的負擔還是讓他變得有些小心翼翼。弟弟希萊力不管不顧,喜歡冒險、刺激,天天夢想著有一天成為像成龍那樣的人物。兩兄弟的母親則常為兩個四處遊蕩且成長迅速的兒子提心吊膽,她收入微薄,整日愁眉不展。
 
ESP跑酷團隊集合了不少年紀相仿,各種民族的孩子,他們信心滿滿地準備著即將在北京舉辦的跑酷大賽:他們費盡波折尋找場地訓練,抓住可能的機會爭取往返北京的旅費,也懵懂無畏地四處尋覓可能的支持。然而,一次次掃興與失望接踵而來,艾達爾動搖了,隊員的情緒也出現反覆,勇敢無畏的希萊力和剛入隊的薩達姆則惦記著無論如何這次都要闖蕩北京。
 
時間臨近,渴望參賽的艾達爾明白自己恐怕難以成行,他瞞著母親,暗地裡幫弟弟掙旅費,希萊力也來到以前並不情願的場合跳起街舞掙錢。舉目無親的薩達姆則嘗試一路西行去找遠方的家人尋求支持。奶奶、爺爺的擔心和遲疑讓薩達姆一籌莫展,無奈中薩達姆去見一直不想再見的離婚父母。酗酒的爸爸拒絕了他,走投無路的他來到並不寬裕的母親身邊。母親的錢與愛讓薩達姆感動。一直被隱瞞的兩兄弟母親終於知道了希萊力單獨去北京參賽的計畫,對兩兒子的不滿和多年來的委屈讓她傷心。然而,對北京和跑酷大賽一臉茫然的她,一路跟隨兒子來到車站,依然沒能攔阻去意已決的兒子。
 
This is a story about Uyghur youth coming of age in Xinjiang.
 
Seventeen-years-old Aydar did not pass his college entrance exam. Since his father passed away, he had became the head of the family; this nurtured him into a careful person, despite his passion for the extreme sport, Parkour. On the other hand, his adventurous younger brother Xirali loves extreme sports and wants to become Jackie CHAN, someday. Their mom is worried about their love for danger, their reckless lifestyle, and wishes that they could be more grounded.
 
Kids from different ethnic groups but of similar age join the ESP Parkour Team with hopes of making it to the National Parkour Competition in Beijing. They spend endless hours looking for the perfect practicing grounds, desperately raising funds for the trip to Beijing, and seeking help and support wherever they can. Each step was fraught with challenges as team members begin to waver their decision. But the fearless Xirali and the newest member Sadam have their eyes set on Beijing.
 
Aydar knows he won’t be able to participate in the competition but he secretly helps Xirali raise traveling funds, while Xirali puts on street performances. Sadam also travels thousands of miles to seek help from relatives. His grandparents are reluctant and discourage him, his estranged and drunken father refuses, but his mother’s love and generosity further infuses Sadam’s passion.
 
Meanwhile, the brother’s mom finally finds out about Xirali’s desire to participate in this extreme sport competition, and despite her fears and worries, she accompanies Xirali to the train station and watches as her younger son embarks on his own journey.
