Feng Lun runs one of the world's biggest real estate companies and believes China's boom gives everyone an equal shot at prosperity. Director Floris-Jan van Luyn tests that claim against two other lives: a scaffold builder who left the countryside for construction work in the cities, and a car salesman making his living off Beijing's new middle class. The film follows all three through the daily mechanics of China's property-driven growth, from tycoon's boardroom to building site to showroom floor, letting the gap between their circumstances speak for itself rather than narrating a verdict. Feng Lun's confidence in the Chinese Dream gets weighed against what the boom actually costs the workers building it and the modest gains it offers the ones selling to it. Made for VPRO's Backlight strand in 2011, the film treats the real estate bubble less as a financial story than a social one, asking who is actually moving up and who is just building the scaffolding for someone else's ascent.
