Ai Weiwei: The Fake Case plot

Conceptual artist Ai Weiwei has risen to prominence in recent years as a fierce critic of the Chinese government. It led to his arrest in 2011. The artist/activist was in solitary confinement for three months. The film follows Ai Weiwei on his return, still constrained by probation and being sued for tax evasion: a lawsuit he dubs "The Fake Case." Simple video images show Ai Weiwei with his family in and around his house, during interviews and in dealing with uncertainty and new provocations. The artist reflects on his experiences in prison and the Chinese political situation, and wonders how far he should go in his activism: after all, he also has a responsibility towards his wife and son.
