Drifting City

This film depicts the journey of a Mexican, Roberto, resident in China. On his way to renew his visa, Roberto meets an African at a railway station between China and Hong Kong. “Why is an African in China?” soon changes into a reflexive inquiry: “Why is a Mexican in China?” Roberto explores the African residents’ community in China and finds many new friends. The film is thus multi- and trans-national, with a Korean director filming the process as a Mexican resident in China explores its African community.

It beckons to people to come over and see it so as to learn about peace. Sannari tells you to ‘look aside, not far from you,’ ‘look at the half of people who got sacrificed by anti-communist ideology,’ and says that ‘I am your wound,’ ‘How can you coexist with North Koreans, unless you accept even me.’ Peace begins with this enlightenment.
