The Land of Peach Blossoms - 世外桃源
A film by ZHOU Mingying - 周铭影

2019 | China | 99 min | Documentary

In Chongqi, in south-west China, ‘The Peach Spring’ is a unique restaurant. Customers are served by actors who perform singing and martial arts during their meal, but behind the scenes a collectivist and authoritarian micro-society has organised itself around the charismatic founder.

A fascinating documentary on the rise and fall of one man's wild utopia. By sharing the daily lives of the restaurant's employees, ZHOU Mingying shows the inner workings of the restaurant and documents its collapse step by step.
