China Reverse accompanies Chinese who arrived in Vienna by chance, many years ago, seeking a better future. In the meantime they have grown and developed. They constantly look ahead, these days to the future of their children. Homesick? Maybe, but what for? The subjects of China Reverse could be living anywhere in Europe. They would eat the same food, do the same work, and be successful.

Two family stories, a century and two metropolises merge into one: Weina Zhao. Her parents called the little daughter "Vienna" when they emigrated from Beijing to Austria. Weina's journey back in history - from the cultural revolution to modern China - touches on the major issues of the 21st century: migration, identity and coming to terms with the past.
