What started as an attempt to redirect our attention towards an
unknown and cryptic China has turned into an exciting and deeply
emotional project about China’s greatest and most unknown social
issue. A journey of personal growth and search for freedom which
aims to immerse the viewer into this world and allowing them to
experience it so as to better understand the problems, conflicts, and
dreams of a voiceless generation who fights for the opportunity to be themselves.
