Take Off (2026)

Li Ming Qi is a factory worker in north-eastern China who inherits from his father a love of hot-air balloons and the dream of parachuting: self-built balloons, clandestine skydiving, and incredible inventions built to reach the sky. The will to fly becomes the guiding thread of an existence shaped by factory work, family responsibilities and the contradictions of a country undergoing rapid transformation. As a young man, Ming Qi secretly works in a corner of the factory building his flying machine; in middle age, he rekindles that dream. Alongside him stand two key figures: his wife Yu Fang, an unwavering presence who supports him even in the darkest moments, and his brother-in-law Xu Guang, whose shifting attitude reflects not only his personal vicissitudes but, more broadly, the moral and material ambiguities of a transitional era.
