The true story of a band of laid-off workers from state-owned companies who set out to risk their own fortunes in the private sector and then find out that success ain't what it used to be. After getting laid-off from a state-owned shipbuilder, a middle-aged worker uses all of his savings, borrows some money, and then convinces a group of friends who are in similar circumstances, to join him in an apartment decoration/construction business in Shanghai. After the initial difficulties of starting a business, they begin to show a profit. Then, disaster strikes when they are cheated out of all their money in a construction project scam. They are devastated, but there is nothing that they can do. The money and the thieves have all disappeared. After counting their losses, they borrow money from everyone they can find including loan sharks and start-up the company again from zero. Soon, their hard work pays off and once again they find themselves along the path to success.

Review :

3 stars

This film feels like a documentary, but isn't, quite. The actors all generally play themselves in their own lives, at the original locations with natural light. The story is of a group of Chinese workers in Shanghai who are laid off by the various companies that they worked for. They form a construction company using some savings and lots of borrowed money, and find the business to have some rather significant ups and downs. There are numerous humorous scenes, such as when they decide to save money by moving some boards to an upper floor apartment themselves, and then find that the boards are too long to be taken up the stairs (their solution is funny, but exhausting). The down moments are also done well, but are somewhat difficult to watch since by then you find yourself rooting for them to succeed.

The look of the film is of a documentary, with extensive if not exclusive use of handheld cameras, but it was shot on film rather than video.

I saw this at the San Francisco International Film Festival on 4/28/2002, where an earlier showing was the U.S. premiere.
