In 1992, Deng Xiaoping’s infamous slogan “it is glorious to get rich" unleashed one of the biggest revolutions in the thousand year-old country of China. Deng threw the “classless society" and the “equal division of the means of production to the wind. As the narrator says, “You can smell money everywhere" This film profiles several families who rose from subsistence incomes to fabled luxury through the inventiveness and ambition of the extended family. The stories of these families provide an insight into the unique fusion of capitalism and communism that is becoming present day China.
