The documentary "Shanghai Fiction“ tells the story of four people from different social strata and varying ages from contemporary Shanghai. We meet a trader, a seasonal worker, a university professor, and a German architect. By intertwining everyday observations and memories of each character, a portrait of this vibrant metropolis emerges, shedding light on China’s social and economic rise.
