在北京的胡同，一个炎热的午后，王刚被几个比他大一点的少年杀害。似乎是在不经意的聊天中发生！似乎是因为一点烟钱...
导演阐述： 这部电影根据真实的事件改变而成，重要的是关注中国青少年的暴力问题。我理解的这种暴力是含蓄的，表面上似乎很友善，可“危险”随时可能发生。像我们面临的生活。希望我的电影不是远离我们的生活。这时我的第一部故事短片，使用的是非职业演员，都是我的好朋友。
同里的人家，平常生活，麻将也有一点符号化。蝉鸣象是电流一样无休止。少年出门上街坊小店买东西，几个同样年纪的向他要钱。然后打起来。小店里女孩的目光，促成了回击，又演变成死亡。——象是《风柜来的人》中截下来的小段落。散文化，但里头是小心周到的起承转合。细节的安排正确，但太用力。一份优秀生的作业。

北京的一个晚上，无聊的出租车司机的一段艳遇。

在匆匆忙忙的城市里．．．希望，偶尔的一个幽默，可以使你快乐。也许不会留下更多。

Du Jie, who had been in the spotlight as a cinematographer for blockbuster commercial films in China such as No Man’s Land (2013), SAVAGE (2018), and Moon Man (2022), emigrated to Japan three years ago where he completed his directorial debut, The Height of Coconut Trees. The film follows two couples. A man working as a cook in a restaurant and a woman working in a pet shop are in a long-term relationship and often eat lunch together in the park during their lunch break. One day, the man finds a ring swallowed by a fish and gives the ring to the woman as a gift. The other couple consists of a woman who has already committed suicide and a man who has acquired the old inn where she killed herself. Tension arises when the woman who received the ring visits the old inn, which is the space of the other couple. Seeing the woman visiting the inn alone, the inn owner suspects she might commit suicide and starts following her. The film tells an original story as it moves between past and present, man and woman, reality and ghost.
