Description

Chinese science student Liu Xing (Liu Ye) arrives at a big U.S. university in pursuit of a Ph.D., with plans to study the origins of the universe. When the head of the department (Aidan Quinn) welcomes him into his select cosmology group, it seems that only hard work stands between him and a bright future. Driven by ambition, but unable to navigate academic politics when his teacher turns against him for pursuing a project in opposition to the professor's favorite theory, Liu Xing is pushed over the edge and reacts with violence. Meryl Streep co-stars as a university donor who tries to help the troubled student. Based on a true story. The feature film debut of renowned opera and theater director Chen Shi-Zheng.
