SYNOPSIS

Teenagers climb up on a dilapidated rooftop, using fireworks to fully ignite the night, venting their frustrations with life. As Guangzhou is welcoming the 2008 Beijing Olympic torch, this “Burning Night” also embraces some hidden collective anger amid the cheers. Like fireworks flashing through tumultuous times, these marginalized youths intertwine their expectations of the vast world with the frenzy of nationalism and violence, creating an indiscernible future.
