Lilly Hu both directs and stars in this vivid portrait of girlhood, teenage love, and frustrated desire. Yin Jia and Tong Tong (Xuanyu Chen and Hu), have carved out a life together: shoplifting for food, joyously pelting oranges at cars, and sharing a bed. Within the walls of their small apartment, they are tied together by an intensely physical, intimate bond; but in front of other people, Tong Tong appears cold and unfeeling towards Yin Jia. When Tong Tong begins a relationship with a drug dealer, the devoted Yin Jia is prepared to sacrifice all that she has. An assured and visually stylish debut based on a true experience, 1 Girl Infinite is set in Hu’s hometown of Changsha, China, which is portrayed with great affection, even while its characters dream of being elsewhere.
