《浩然是谁》说的是这群小镇少年的一件“预谋打人未遂事件”，这样的事情每天都可能发生，帮会、打架、跟老师作对、兄弟、女孩儿的事情就是这些少年最日常的生活，他们有无数“未遂”的冲动，有使不完的劲头，时间还没有紧迫地追赶他们，他们还能游荡、荒废、抛掷、妄为，而现实又给他们积聚了那么多危机，那么多要“打浩然”的理由，但他们以为万无一失的打浩然计划真正实现起来并不容易，他们看着浩然从眼皮底下溜掉，他们耗掉全部力气发狠、追击、围堵，都不能把浩然找出来，他们看到他，但是根本打不到他，浩然自身，有不被他们打到的灵敏素质，浩然背后，有他们不敢打的背景。他们的反叛指向一个找不到的打击目标。
后来松松们会去当厨师，当工人、娶妻生子或者继续游荡，就像他们的父亲一样。他们既想、又不想那么快长大，成年生活就这么在犹犹豫豫中开始了，而现实积聚了更多危机在他们身上。
