During the Taiping Rebellion of the mid-19th century, anti-Qing (Manchu) Chinese forces led by Taiping commander Li Xiucheng march on Shanghai. Although the Western powers are officially neutral, the British consul in Shanghai sides with the Qing imperial government, and counter to his own government's policy he retains American adventurer Frederick Townsend Ward to raise a mercenary force of foreigners in Shanghai and oppose the Taipings. Ward's force is routed, with heavy casualties, but since many of the casualties are British, the British army soon is drawn in on the side of the Qings. The only support for the Chinese comes from Japanese in Shanghai and anti-imperialist demonstrations in Japan. A family drama plays out against this historical background. After a Chinese home is destroyed by careless British shelling, killing the father and crippling a daughter, the surviving son vows revenge but begins to see that his true friends may be the Japanese..

Rémy entraîne sa petite famille à Shanghai. Son couple y résistera-t-il ? Entre réalisme et romanesque, une immersion subtile dans la foisonnante mégalopole, avec Élodie Navarre et Clément Sibony. Le patron de Rémy lui pose un ultimatum : c'est l'exil à Shanghai, sous contrat local, pour remplacer au pied levé un collègue, ou le licenciement économique. N'osant pas avouer la vérité à Marine, sa compagne, le jeune architecte fait passer cette perspective pour une promotion. Celle-ci accepte l'aventure à contrecœur et le jeune couple et leur petit garçon s'envolent pour la métropole chinoise. Une fois sur place, le couple se rend à l'évidence : la flambée des loyers est telle que pour rester dans le centre-ville, le salaire de Rémy ne suffira pas.

In the distance, skyscrapers built with oil money tower above the city, but here dilapidated houses are packed along a single railway line. The slum is scheduled for demolition, and now and again a child is killed by one of the freight trains slowly chugging by.

The young Azerbaijani filmmaker Leyli Gafarova succeeds however in gaining the inhabitants’ trust and films a choppy, playful portrait of Shanghai in the margins of the feature film production. In the guise of a making-of, she shows intimate fragments of life in the slum, while it’s still standing..
