In recent years, conceptual artist Ai Weiwei has increasingly stepped up as a fierce critic of the Chinese government, something that eventually led to his arrest. For three months the artist / activist was put in solitary confinement. The film follows Ai Weiwei after his return. He is still in a trial period and has been summoned for tax evasion, a lawsuit he relabels "The Fake Case '. We see the person behind the living legend, a man who dares to question himself and his commitment. Sometimes tired and hesitant, sometimes full of fighting spirit and creative inspiration.
