An essayistic film concerning the proposal by Chinese Billionaire Mr. Ni Zhaoxing and ZhongRong Holdings Group to rebuild Crystal Palace in South London.

The film adopts the perspective of a guest at a dinner table, realised through narratives in which differences are to be reclaimed in both historical and personal contexts.
