Summary
From acclaimed director Wang Xiaoshuai comes a personal snapshot of contemporary China in all its diversity. Shot over ten years on both film and video, the film consists of a series of carefully composed tableaus of people and environments, each one more extraordinary than the last. Pedestrians shuffle across a bustling Beijing street, steelworkers linger outside a deserted factory, tourists laugh and scamper across a crowded beach, worshippers kneel to pray in a remote village
