Filmed inside Beijing’s 24-hour “12345” citizen hotline, the documentary follows seven real cases—from installing elevators to parking disputes in historic hutongs—revealing how a single call can trigger a cross-departmental response. With no script and no actors, only authentic voices and replies, the film captures the subtle interplay between governance and daily life in a mega-city.
