Colorful Youth is the only film with a contemporary setting starring both Connie Chan Po-chu and Josephine Siao Fong-fong, unequivocally the most popular teen idols in the history of Cantonese cinema. Choreographed song-and-dance numbers and swimsuit parties punctuate the story, performed by beautiful young men and women in the trendiest fashions. Not without a moral center, the bedazzled youth also encounter setbacks, unsavory characters, and dark gang entanglements. Through this complex tapestry of experiences and upheavals, they learn to rebuild their lives, making their colorful youth worthwhile.
