A self-titled »narrative resistance group« buries the finest porcelain they claim belonged to an entirely fictional civilisation. The group’s aim is to influence history and make a claim for its vanishing land. Combining live action and computer-generated imagery, the film-makers explore the effects myth and fiction have on facts and history.
