Shanghai, a fast-changing metropolis, a port city where people come and go. Eighteen people recall their lives in Shanghai. Their personal experiences, like eighteen chapters of a novel, tell stories of Shanghai lives from the 1930s to 2010.
Through the portraits, questions and preoccupations of young Quebecers aged 20 to 25, this documentary raises, often with humour, a reflection on Quebec society in 1988: family, couples, work, unemployment, creation, politics, the future, and so on. The director, for her part, embodies the 35-year-old generation, helping to measure how far we've come since the late 60s.
