If there is one thing you can find in almost any city in the world, it would be a Chinese restaurant. Chinese immigrants have moved and settled throughout the world and found means of living by cooking Chop Suey, Hong Kong Crispy Duck and Spring Rolls for westerners. The restaurants are all very much the same, although the original Chinese food is mostly adapted to local palate. That Chinese restaurant around anyone's corner is often a small family business, in which the parents and their grown-up children work around the clock to earn a living. This is the story of one of those hardworking families in a Chinese restaurant somewhere in the world: in a provincial town in the Netherlands. And it seems that this life was richer than you might have imagined. This film was nominated for a Gouden Kalf in the categorie best documentaire.

该片将电影拍摄、实际采访及音乐剧融为一体,以江青的“口述”拉开序幕。虚拟的江青“声称”,她的样板戏并没有被人遗忘。整个影片中,还不时穿插她对历史人物、对自己的生活及历史的评论。影片中通过虚拟的江青之口,似乎想要说明,文革中什么是对的,什么是错的,什么是真实,什么是当局的宣传。导演认为,普通百姓可以决定从那段历史中遗忘什么,记住什么。而如果一定要记住一些东西,为何不是那些欢乐明快、丰富多彩、雅俗共赏的样板戏呢?
