Youth

Liu Feng is the leader of a People's Liberation Army (PLA) dance troupe, which rehearses tirelessly to perform ballets against a backdrop of violence and pain from the Cultural Revolution. There is a strict pecking order within the troupe led by general's daughter Shuwen followed closely by resident beauty Dingding and Mongolian curiosity Drolma. Unfortunately, Xiaoping, newly arrived from Beijing, is at the bottom of the hierarchy by virtue of a stain on her father's reputation.
