A moving story about life inside the home, minds and hearts of three generations
of Chinese living under one roof in the old city of Shanghai, who are suddenly
confronted by the imminent demolition of their home. Over a 5-year period the
intimacy of the Wang family was filmed. These seemingly ordinary Chinese people,
whose realm is confined to a few square meters on a street corner - a world
within a world condemned to vanish through unavoidable modernization and
globalisation. This 92-minute film is an intimate exploration of this unique and
fragile transition. A rare window into the psyche of the common men and women in
China – most of who are undergoing head-swirling changes through
industrialisation and upon which all eyes will be focused in the summer of 2008.
The filming began in 2001 - a few months before the Twin Towers terrorist
attack. |
