About One Foot Off the Ground
When a celebrated Chinese opera troupe loses its sponsorship funding, the laid-off performers must seek out temporary jobs in a wide spectrum of fields. But all along, they yearn to reunite their company and perform again.
Directed by Daming Chen, One Foot Off the Ground leans on a strong ensemble — Xu Fan, Li Yixiang, Xiangyu Xiao — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2006.
