　　内容简介：本片记录了克劳迪娅(Claudia)在来中国的第12个年头里，她的人生行进状态；包括工作事业、家庭情感和其对人生的感悟。克洛迪亚，是一位在中国生活、工作了十二年的法国女子。1994年，她从北京南下来到了广州。其间，她从事过设计、商贸、翻译等多种工作。2004年初，她辞去了在法国驻广州总领事馆的工作，转而开起了酒吧和俱乐部，自己做起了老板娘。在异国他乡的生活，克洛迪亚在物质上创建了自己的事业；然而丈夫不辞而别，克洛迪亚带着五岁大的女儿，独力支撑。在情感的失落与期待之中，她只能怀揣着千般况味而无从与人言说……

　　本片的特色在于，以一个人到中年的法国女子在中国的生活为题旨；并不倚重于逢外国人必提的文化差异构成渲染重点，而是着眼于在闹市广州的背景上，平实地呈现出克劳迪娅在异国他乡，并不平坦而又无悔的人生境遇。本片叙事手法质朴流畅，于平凡处落笔，却见出女主人公坚强、浪漫的人物性格。构图优美多变，摄影光比掌握较好是该片的另一特色。场面调度根据人物活动场所变化，空间造型在用光和构图上注意到绘画性的体现。音乐为场景服务，和谐地融入其中，烘托了主题。

Brief synopsis:This film portrays 12 years in the life of Claudia’s stay in China by exploring her career, family, emotions and reflections on life. Claudia is a French lady, living and working in China. Heading south from Beijing, she settled in Guangzhou in 1994 and has worked as a designer, trader and translator. At the beginning of 2004, she resigned from the French Consulate Generals office in Guangzhou to manage a bar and club by herself. Materially, Claudia is a successful woman who established her own career in a foreign country. But emotionally she is alone with a five years old daughter by her husband who deserted her. Lost in her emotional world, yet still full of expectations, Claudia finds it difficult to open up to people around her.

This groundbreaking film focuses on a middle aged French woman’s life in China rather than falling into the trap of discussing cultural differences whenever depicting a foreigner living in China. With a backdrop of the hustling and bustling city of Guangzhou, this film faithfully portrays Claudia’s life in a foreign country, twisting and turning but with no regrets. The flow of this film is simple and smooth. The camera is focused on an ordinary life and reflects on the strong and romantic personality of the heroine. The beautiful diverse pictures and amazing lighting are a unique feature of this film. The scenes change as the characters move to different locations. The lighting and composition of the space are carefully considered to achieve a picturesque effect. Music is harmoniously mixed with the scene to enhance the theme of the film.
