A film crew headed by a veteran director (Joris Ivens) travels to China's Gobi desert in this symbolic documentary-styled fantasy. While the crew waits for the wind to kick up, weather reports tell of tidal waves every place but China. The director is hospitalized after a fall from his chair and has dreams he is part of the Melies film A Trip To The Moon. (official distributor synopsis)

I can't help it, but I have a feeling that Joris Ivens made a film at the end of his long and incredibly fruitful life, which is somehow a tribute to him, his work, and life itself. It's playing with the film and the scenes, but it doesn't bring me any stronger experience. Simply the game of an old man.
