Contents/Summary

Summary
A fil about Zhou Zhou who is suffering from mental disability. He is the son of a percutionist the Wuhan Filarmonica and his life is centered around music and operatic performances, as he spend most of the time as an "assistent" to the various performances of the Wuhan Filarmonica. The documentary shows the almost permanent harmony of Zhou Zhou's life, which brings him into normality rather than isolation. This is a story o acceptance and adaptation, but it does not convince the viewer about the corectedness of the approach presented. Zhou Zhou's life and environment are lauded, but at times they seem to take on the guise rather of a well-tuned circus show than of an integration in society of a disabled person.
