Synopsis:

Czech tourist Lada found a suitcase containing 22 rolls of undeveloped film in a Swedish dumpster. When developed, the negatives produced 756 fascinating snapshots of six unknown Chinese tourists. The film crew search for those people according their lost photos in a world where every fourth person is Chinese. At the end of the journey tracing the unknown Asians footsteps, the story becomes a part of the Chinese TV industry viewed by more than 300 000 000 Chinese. This documentary detective story is about travel, photos, and identity in an interconnected world, about memory and the importance of treasuring images, about Czech, Europeans, and Chinese.
