Sao Bao has been left behind by China's fabulous new wealth, having lost his job, his apartment, and the woman he loves. Nevertheless, he has moments of euphoria amid his own despair, as he roams the sleek, shifting city with other soulful, cash-poor dreamers and misfits. These heavenly losers carry the vital spirit of Beijing in this portrait of youthful disaffection. Mandarin w. English subs.
