A bit about film:
\nOn the footsteps of a cosmopolitan city dweller who takes us from her native modern and thriving Shanghai in search of one of the last great mysteries of her childhood: the fabled \u201cGolden Lotus\u201d – the women with bound feet. Following the red thread of her research journey, we plunge into the distant past of classical China to find the four last surviving \u201cGolden Lotus\u201d \u2013 the last testimonials of a quintessential ideal of beauty practiced by over 2 billion women for nearly 1000 years in the Middle Kingdom.
\nA film from a respectful perspective touching the different facets and tensions between modernity and tradition, erotic and nuptial ideals and the role of women in society. Stemming from a personal quest, it unveils a well-concealed and disappearing cultural phenomenon and it ends with a touching accident\u2026
\nA profoundly humane and respectful approach to the truth behind one of China\u2019s last great secrets: Lotus feet!<\/p>\n
