1979. After leaving behind the decade of chaos and idolatry of the Cultural Revolution, China opens its doors to the world. A hurricane of synthesizers, lascivious moves, bright lipsticks and wild hairdos storms the Popular Republic. After decades of uniformity and rule of the collective self, the germs of difference and individualism reappear in the ballrooms. “who am I?”, “what am I doing here?”, “what am I looking for?”.
