Journey to the East

A cab ride.

A chauffeur learning Chinese from a passenger, discovering snacks, music and stories on their way, producing videoblogs, realitysoap, e-learning and gastro-checks, following hints from social media users around the world, finding solutions for all twists of the journey. Together.

A colourful European-Asian road-movie/documentary.

The path is the goal: New „silk roads“ for a future of sustainability and peace.

Story:

Mrs. Wang had to fly to Lisbon to produce a feature-story for Lotus TV Macao ^* about fado singer Cuca Roseta.

As part of a bet (and because she's been tired of her very successful everyday-life for a long time) she decides to travel home not by plane, but by taxi, earning money on the road by producing videos about food, accomodations, music, special places and everyday stories. The bet is: Will she make more money on the road than she has to spend to make her dream come true?

The first cab that comes along is hired and the driver agrees without hesitation: „Macao? Let's roll!“ - Fees and expenses? Mrs. Wang is well equipped with a powerful deck of cards. First some equipment has to be bought: A cam drone, a sat-antenna to be able to go online wherever the journey might lead, good mobiles and laptops to turn the cab into a rolling production unit.
