Emilione, a million lies - so people nicknamed Marco Polo. When Polo released a book on his astonishing journey in the 13th century, people called him a liar. The film “A Million” depicts an imaginary city on the projection of real urban cities along the new silk road - being revived by the Chinese political initiative's alternative globalization - through the eyes of a filmmaker from the east. The visual adaptation of Italo Calvino’s “Invisible Cities” confronts a fabricated, materialistic world in political transformation and wanders over the boundary between truth and fake.
