Chinese coming-of-age ensemble drama based around a military cultural troupe in 1970s Chengdu. From Aftershock director Xiaogang Feng.
"Youth chronicles the joys and travails of a provincial military-arts troupe, soldiers in the People's Liberation Army whose duty it is to promote culture, revolutionary values, music, and dance. At the centre of the story is He Xiaoping (Miao Miao) a talented dancer from Beijing with a painful family history. Due to her innocence and social status, Xiaoping quickly becomes a scapegoat and laughing stock amongst her peers. As time passes and the group gradually splinters apart, however, her life takes unexpected turns and she emerges a true heroine." (Toronto International Film Festival)
