Youth is a Chinese coming-of-age drama film directed by Feng Xiaogang and written by Geling Yan.
The film chronicles the lives of a group of idealistic adolescents in a military art troupe in the People's Liberation Army during the Cultural Revolution. They experience love, lust, betrayal, and sufferings in the background of Mao-era songs and dances.
The film was scheduled to be released in China on October 1, 2017, but after previews in Beijing and other cities it was pulled from the National Day schedule and only released later in the year, becoming the 6th highest-grossing domestic film of 2017 in China.
The film was screened in the Special Presentations section at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival.
