Presented at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival in Toronto in 2025, the film follows Chinese artist and political dissident Ai Weiwei as he takes his first steps as an opera director, invited by the Teatro dell’Opera in Rome to revisit Giacomo Puccini’s Turandot. Composed nearly a century ago, the work remains remarkably relevant today and echoes, in many ways, Ai Weiwei’s own journey and struggles.
Through an immersive look at rehearsals and the creative process, the film reveals how this ambitious project becomes a natural undertaking for an artist whose work has consistently questioned power and championed freedom of expression.
