Journey to the west

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

„Journey to the West“ is an embedded documentary film into a bus of Chinese tourists visiting Europe for the very first time (6 countries in 10 days!).
This road movie captures with humor and spirit the cultural differences between China and Europe in a play of mirrors and contrasts. It also destroys the stereotypes about the emerging Chinese middle class and reveals what they think about the “others” who are “us”, the Westerners.
