Stranded in Canton

Måns Månsson China, Denemarken, Zweden 2014 77 min.

Congolese entrepreneur Lebrun has traveled to China to buy cheap t-shirts for a candidate in the presidential elections. But there is a delay, the elections are already over and the t-shirts become worthless. Moreover, his visa has expired and he is stuck in the neon-lit world of Canton. By placing the fictional character of Lebrun in the real world, Swedish artist Månsson shows the reality of many African immigrants in China. A revealing, funny and unique cinematic experiment about lost souls.
