Dancing in the City
1h 59m

An idealist bent on speaking for China's peasants, a rural youth striving to assimilate into urban life, a young girl drifting between city and country, a rebel whose passions blended money and literature—they possessed rural blood, yet their souls danced in chains in the city. They returned home time and again, fleeing from it; they struggled to break free from their shackles, only to find their true selves again and again. Where was home, where was spiritual refuge? Amidst the urban jungle, they trudged forward, sighing silently.
