Tomáš Etzler worked as a foreign correspondent in China for seven years, witnessing the rapid development of the country. He initially believed that this modernity could lead to political change. However, he soon realized that many individuals faced severe punishment under the regime, which kept the population in a state of indecision and ignorance.
In his personal documentary, Etzler focuses on a story of hope through an orphanage for disabled children. He presents mutual assistance, tolerance, and empathy as responses to the brutality of the collectivist regime, contrasting the harsh realities of life in China with the potential for kindness and support among individuals.
