Portrait of a girl named Fang who wants to play basketball and continue with her education however her parents have other ideas.
Despite looking like a documentary this is a short narrative. Containing enough material for a feature film it doesn't know what it wants to be as it raises thread after thread and then goes nowhere with it. This feels like a feature film with 90 minutes chopped out.
Shot in a style where every image is a close up of a face, usually Fang's, there is no sense of place or even what we are watching. What is this and why are we being told this? I don't know since as I said this goes nowhere.
To be fair there is a hint of something greater, but the smothering images, the lack of place and missing footage to make this a feature left me wondering how this got programmed.
This is a rocket that exploded on the launch pad
