Developed and produced by U.K.-China Film Collab, the project follows world champion Bai Yulu on the international professional circuit in the U.K. and an amateur player named Tian navigating China’s underground snooker scene. The film examines ambition, identity, gender, and cultural exchange through the sport’s long-running ties between Britain and China.
