Synopsis:
From the point of view of a mixed couple on the verge of having a (Euro-Asian) child, love in today’s China comes alive as a concept that is both universally pervasive and persistently elusive. Mixing documentary, fiction and fantastical elements the story unfolds as a strange day-in-the-life odyssey of this young couple. The story centers around Taian Lu No. 6, a dilapidated colonial-era building, now home to an eclectic cross-section of Shanghai’s demography. Through the daily conundrums of the houses’ residents, a cross-cultural television show, tele-conference forays with New York’s Chinatown, the waking dreams of a pregnant mother and the anxieties of an expectant father, the extended family of man in the 21st century is told. The conflicts and contrasts of today’s China unfold as a series of quick cut fantasies and facts. Mixing allegory, class stratification and poetry, this film is a frenetic and impressionistic ode to a China as a global concept - enrapt in an accelerated and often erratic attempt to do too much too soon.
