The major of feature in the documentary is very real, not having more editing and background music. Views can imagine the scene in their life, it seems like a long Vlog.

Episode one is about a topic, How to have small talk. In every big city, people have to work very hard. If you are not graduated or born in the city, you may have a few of connection. Director tried to teach people how to start a small talk with strangers. And he even went to another place to look for big party to meet people.
