Synopsis by Mark Deming

Young love gets a second chance in this romantic comedy-drama from China. Qi Qi (Pu Pu) and Xi (Tian Yuan) are two close friends who attend the same school in Beijing. Xi has a major crush on Yi Huan (Song Ning), the star of the school track team, but amateur astrologer Qi Qi warns her the stars say they'll never be together. Despite her friend's advice, Xi tries to interest Yi Huan in her, but their short-lived romance ends badly for both of them. Qi Qi, meanwhile, has little luck with the opposite sex, though nerdy Yong Liang (Wu Xiaoliang) is clearly infatuated with her. Years later, Qi Qi and Xi are still friends and still single when they head out after work to a nightclub to celebrate Xi's birthday. Xi is surprised to find that Yi Huan is working at the club as a disc jockey, while Qi Qi bumps into Yong Liang for the first time in years. Older and wiser, Xi and Yi Huan decide to give their relationship another try, while lovesick Yong Liang startles Qi Qi by asking her to marry him. Young and Clueless (aka Qing chun qi) was the first directorial project for established screenwriter Tang Danian.
