The main character in this film is not a person but a particular place, so-called Chinese quarter in the city of Novi Sad/Serbia. Our guides are Andrej (10) and his dog (China, 12). For Andrej and China, this place is home. The boy is passionate about gadgets. He puts small cameras everywhere, on his bike, skateboard, kite, drone, on his dog. Bad news spread around the quarter: all the workshops will be demolished, all the craftsmen evicted, and something unknown shall replace them. The locals, including Andrej’s father, mobilize in an attempt to stop this. Andrej and China find themselves in the middle of the conflict. In this havoc, a few introduced characters show up, such as the moaning woman and mysterious Chinese delegation.
