Synopsis

After three years of lockdown and a failed revolution, deep wounds and a strict security law characterize Hong Kong. After 10 years of construction, the M+ Museum, a masterpiece by Basel architects Herzog de Meuron, opens. Patron Uli Sigg donated important Chinese contemporary art to the museum. The film highlights the role of the museum and the art scene in the debate about Hong Kong's future.
