Synopsis:
Tokyo based Swiss photographer Andreas Seibert has been
working since 2002 on a photographic documentation about life and work of China¹s migrant rural workers.

Cineast Villi Hermann traveled in 2006, 2007 and 2008 with Andreas Seibert through China. They traveled from the booming South to the fallow land of the North. They visited migrant workers at their workplaces and went to see their simple, temporary tin huts. And they traveled back to the migrant workers hometowns to visit the families the workers had to leave behind.

The migrant rural worker's stories are told in a collection of striking photographs that provide a close-up portrait to complement the current discussion of economic growth in China. With its combination of photographs and video images, this documentary film conveys a unique impression of the scale of this modern migration - the largest in human history.

Filmed in the provinces of Anhui, Chongqing, Guangdong, Hebei, Hunan, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Liaoning, Shanxi and Sichuan.
