Suddenly Seventeen (Chinese: 28岁未成年) is a 2016 Chinese fantasy romance drama film starring Ni Ni, Wallace Huo and Darren Wang. It is the directorial debut of Zhang Mo, also known as Zhang Yimou's daughter. It was released in China by Le Vision Pictures on December 9, 2016.[1][2]
Synopsis
28-year old Liang Xia (Ni Ni) and 34 year-old Mao Liang (Wallace Huo) have been together for 10 years, and living together for 5 years. Liang Xia assumes that Mao is going to propose after 10 years of being together, however she is disappointed when the diamond he had bought was for his boss, Mr. Gao's wife to earn her support in improving his design company. Liang had given up her dreams of becoming a painter just to stay with Mao. Her friend later suggests to Liang that she should force Mao to marry her on her wedding day by proposing to him in public. However, this backfires and Mao ends up breaking up with her. As Liang follows Mao to beg him to stay with her she eats some magical chocolates that she had bought earlier through an advertisement on television. These chocolates turn Liang into a 17 year old in a 28 year old's body for exactly 5 hours every time she consumes the chocolate. The rest of the movie is a hilarious breakdown of the troubles the 17 year old Liang causes and how the 28 year old Liang has to face them. But 17 year old Liang also helps bring the beauty of youth back into our somber heroine and brings back her passion for painting, as well as her true self. It is a beautiful and heart warming story about self realization, and the importance of one's inner identity.
