In a remote village of Yunnan province in Southern China live the very last women with bound feet. They are the last few witnesses of China’s‘foot binding’ custom which has lasted over a thousand years until its abolition during the 1930s. This painful practice has involved approx 4.5 billion women throughout the history. Today, despite the high age and the restraints of their tiny feet, these ladies are still active and independent. Two of them, Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhu went to the city of Kunming for the last time to perform their ‘Dragon Dance’, a folk dance performed by small feet women .Their show reminded people of this almost extinguished tradition. Meanwhile in the village, other women with bound feet passed away one after another and special local rituals were being prepared. Along with their burials, the foot binding history is finally reaching its end. This film offers a very last look at the Chinese legendary custom that still fascinates and horrifies modern societies.
