Synopsis by Eleanor Mannikka
During 1981 and 1982, director Antoine Fournier and his small crew traveled three times to visit and film the lives of the members of one family and their friends living in Guangdong (Canton) in southern China. As the three different visits unfold, the family is less reticent about expressing their thoughts and feelings, and they provide an interesting, quiet look into what China is like from a more ordinary, commonplace viewpoint.
