The Dream Factory

Four Beijing friends launch a peculiar venture — a 'Dream Fulfillment' agency. For a modest fee, they agree to act out any role a client desires: spending a day as a stern general, enduring mock prisoner-of-war camp hardships, or basking in the borrowed luxury of a millionaire. Their clientele ranges from a timid cook yearning for courage to a celebrity weary of fame. Each fulfilled 'contract' unfolds as a sharp social comedy where performance brushes against genuine empathy, and laughter yields unexpected insights into the human heart.
