Different from films portraying China as the ‘world's factory’, our film attempts to reveal a new era where China plays the role of ‘world buyer.’ After being mined in Greece, a piece of marble stone is shipped to China and made into Western style products. Most of them will be sold in China, or shipped back to Europe to be sold to Chinese tourists. The journey of the stone will connect various individual stories in our film. We capture the meaningful details of locations and individuals representing diverse social classes and cultural backgrounds, such as the proud Chinese boss who bought the Greek marble mines during the financial crisis, the French businessman whose success in China is based on copying European style, kids who grow up in a souvenir factory but never go abroad, middle-class couples who dream of weddings in Europe, and so forth. Through their stories, we investigate the multi-layered global economic chain driven by Chinese domestic consumption, and reflect on how and why Western cultures are being admired, copied, acquired and consumed by China during the past few decades. As the Chinese economy slows down and US-China tensions intensify, the film captures the breakdown of this ‘food chain’, contrasting the fate of individuals in the massive economic phenomenon of ‘Chinaisation.’​
