20 Fragments of a Revenous Youth

‘She's no good, that girl
Much too individualistic’

This is the story of Fenfang who, determined to carve out a life more independent than her provincial roots, gets a job as a film extra in Beijing.But living a modern life is not as easy as it looks in this tumultuous, messy city.

Grappling with the narrow world of cinema, an outworn communist regime and the city's far-from-progressive attitudes to women, charismatic Fenfang finds her true freedom in the one place she never expected.

20 Fragments of a Ravenous Youth is a sparkling and wry coming-of-age story about the changing identity of women in contemporary China.
