Description
During a three-month assignment in Shenzhen, a rapidly transforming Chinese Special Economic Zone, a Canadian animator serves as the liaison between a Belgian production company and a local animation studio. Through candid observations of his work, daily routines, uneasy friendships, and attempts to navigate an unfamiliar culture, he captures both the energy of a booming metropolis and the isolation of an outsider. Wry, understated, and richly visual, this graphic travelogue explores globalization, cultural misunderstanding, urbanization, and the unexpected absurdities of everyday life.
