Film Description:
"A portrait of three Chinese artists currently living in Montreal, this film achieves a special poignancy due to the relationships that each has developed over the years with director Kei-Wing. Ngan Siu Mui, originally from Hong Kong, has created in the 'Traditional Chinese Cultural Society of Montreal,' a reflection of her art and attitudes towards the West. Yao Kui, formerly well-known in mainland China, paints in a style that merges Western influences with Chinese art. Leng Hong, from Shanghai via Bordeaux, creates landscapes that are marked by his own formal approch to art. Like the director, they are negotiating their paths in a society that is quite different from the ones they left in Asia."

Film Description:
"Montrealer Belle Kei Wing Wong takes a personal and candid look at three artists of Chinese origin and their efforts to merge East and West in their lives and their art. A Chinese artist in Montreal reflects on art and identity with Chinese artists doing different styles of art, from calligraphy to abstract painting. 'Chinese in the soul, but transplanted to a foreign country.'"
