Synopsis:
Everyone says this is a land full of opportunities, but for a fifteen-year-old boy, what does opportunity mean?
But opportunity often comes with a price. Shenzi first realizes this when he is spotted by the famous Youth Soccer League coach, Li Chun, the day his father suddenly passes away. It is a coming of age story about a boy's journey on the way to self-discovery, who kicks his way out of a family crisis and cultural stereotypes. On the way, Shenzi takes us flying through the grey skies into the green field, dreaming like a fifteen-year-old.
Director's Statement:
She Men De Fen is Chinese for “Aim to Goal”, a remake of the successful Dutch family drama “In Orange”. The film after adaption contains vivid elements of modern China, and a society that is going through its puberty; at the same time it remains fluent and engaging thanks to the masterfully structure of “In Orange”.
