Le film est consacré à cinq artistes chinois: la danseuse Wen Hui; l’écrivain Ye Fu; le cinéaste d’animation Pi San et les plasticiens Gao Brothers. Ils font partie d’une contre-culture fragile, mais courageuse. Sur la base de leur propre histoire familiale, ils explorent les bouleversements qui ont secoué l’histoire chinoise pour comprendre les problèmes du présent. Leur lutte pour une société civile démocratique semble prendre de plus en plus de pertinence, à l’intérieur comme à l’extérieur de la Chine.

Cinque artisti cinesi sono al centro di A Long Way Home: il ballerino Wen Hui; lo scrittore Ye Fu; il regista di animazione Pi San e gli artisti visivi Gao Brothers. Fanno parte di una fragile ma coraggiosa controcultura. Basandosi sulla loro storia familiare, esplorano gli shock della storia cinese per comprendere i problemi del presente. La loro lotta per una società civile democratica sembra sempre più rilevante sia all'interno che all'esterno della Cina.
