If there is one thing you can find in any city in the world, it would be a chinese restaurant. Chinese immigrants have moved and settled throughout the world and found means of living by cooking for westerners. The restaurants are all very much the same, althought the original Chinese food is mostly adapted to local palate. These restaurants are often a familiy business, in which the parents and their grown-up children work around the clock to earn a living. This is the story of one of those hardworking families in a Chinese restaurant somewhere in the world: in the provincial town of Zeist, in the Netherlands. The film is shot from the Chinese perspective. It is the Dutch who are the foreigners, not the Chinese. This theme has been transferred in the style of filming. Interweaved in an old Chinese fairy-tale, it became an open-hearted portrait from within the Chinese restaurant.
