米国で映画の勉強をするアーミン君が故郷のマカオで映画を作ろうとする。資金集めから題材探しまで、ユーモラスな試行錯誤の経緯が、1999年に中国への返還を目前にする市民へのインタビューと織りまぜられ、転換期を迎えるマカオの街と人の諸相が映し出される。返還後の行政を担うことになる官僚、音楽家になりたい美容師、年老いたアーミンのおばあさんなど、多彩な声から、マカオ市民のジレンマが垣間見えてくる。 | Ah Ming is a film student in the U.S. who returns to his hometown to try to make the first Macao movie. While using narrative to depict Ah Ming's struggles to complete his own film, the director intersperses interviews of various Macao citizens who speak about their needs and feelings about their city. The final collage expresses the diverse voices of a city that faces a turning point in 1999, when it reverts to China. |

監督のことば マカオ?どこにあるの? |
Director's Statement Macau? Where is it? The importance of this movie is not only that it deals with the return of this place to China, but also that it is a rare cultural product reflecting the voices of Macau people who are seldom known to the outside world. |
