在韩国电影《极限逃生》里，“热爱”真的救了主人公一命。
无业游民龙南极其痴迷攀岩，他的执着程度令家人万分不解。哪怕在单杠上练习臂力，也被侄子视同耍猴，当作陌生路人避之不及。像世界上所有孤独的兴趣一样，这项公开的爱好，好像只有他独自享受其中，身边没有一个人能够感同身受。在母亲七十大寿的宴会上，有毒气体突然覆盖整个城市，他和偶遇的攀岩同好者开始了极限逃生之路。在摩天高楼之间攀爬、跳跃，最终完成了自我解救。导演李相槿说起拍摄该部电影的初衷：每个人都有一个必杀技，虽然不被别人看重，但到了恰当的地点和时间，总会爆发出惊人的实力。
这世上有许多热爱，是隐秘进行的。但却在很多时刻，安慰甚至拯救了生活。
疫情期间，很多人的生活就是靠“热爱”拯救的。因为“热爱”的加持，这个春天即便不能出门，也能在家“野”了。
一个漫长的假期，能催生什么？对于避疫躲到乡下的牛顿来说，是确立了第一第二定律和引力定律，奠定了经典力学的基础。对于伦敦爆发瘟疫时的莎士比亚来说，是写下了《维纳斯与阿多尼斯》《鲁克丽丝受辱记》等作品。对于很多人来说，是广阔的时间忽然闯进了狭窄的起居空间里，催生出了难以负荷的“悠闲”。
但是对于许多年轻人来说，即使撒野的空间有了限定，热爱依然在继续进行。
