Zhuzi, a young intellectual, lives a comfortable life in Hangzhou with his fiancée Lingshan. At the start of the picturesque city’s summer rain season, Zhuzi complains of a general malaise and, worried, tries to determine its origin. His many visits to the doctor, however, reveal nothing, and he deduces that he is suffering instead from a paralysing boredom, which alienates him from the simple truths of daily life. This is a poetic, nonlinear and introspective film about the uneventfulness of happiness and the irony that love and simplicity can be the source of restlessness and dissatisfaction. Yang Fudong took seven years to make An Estranged Paradise, completing it with funding from ‘Documenta XI’.
