China's economy has grown for decades at rates that once seemed unstoppable, but this film follows the young graduates who are not feeling the benefit. Interviews take place in crowded job fairs and cramped apartments in Beijing and other cities, where university degrees no longer guarantee the white-collar careers they were sold as a path to. Some of the young people profiled have been unemployed for months despite sending out dozens of applications; others have taken jobs far below their qualifications just to pay rent. The film sets their frustration against official statistics and state messaging about prosperity, letting the gap between the two speak for itself. Parents who sacrificed to fund an education now watch their children drift between temporary jobs, and the film treats that disappointment as the real subject rather than the growth figures themselves. It is a portrait of a generation told to expect one kind of future and handed another.
