Fuxi plot
Myths, legends and folk tales come together in Fuxi, the term for which is a combination of the words ‘food’ and ‘joy’. In a circus tent, a film crew is filming a film about gastronomy. In four chapters and during as many festivities, a story is told about the living, the dying and the dead. For example, 4,000 years ago, a funeral feast takes place where a grandmother gives a gift to her descendants, 3,000 years ago, a spring festival takes place where a former king returns in the form of a bird. In the 1990s, a banquet is held in the autumn where spirits gather, and on a birthday, finally, a wanderer comes face to face with gods from the underworld.
