Jia Zhang-Ke sets out to tell the story of Shanghai by interviewing revolutionaries, industrialists, workers, artists... spanning several generations. Their stories, marked by war, exile and return, are echoed in shots of the Chinese megalopolis, where the actress Zhao Tao, a spirit from the past, searches for other voices, forever lost in the limbo of history.
