Una laowai en Shanghái

A laowai in Shanghai describes the relationship between Elisa, a Barcelona fashion consultant, and Esme, her interpreter, in the ultra-giant and wild city of Shanghai. Esme is a native of China and accompanies Elisa on her regular business trips. Elisa is the laowai, the foreigner, and always will be, no matter how many times she has been to China. Elisa and Esme establish a relationship riddled with cultural clashes, funny anecdotes and existential doubts. The extra difficulty? Being from two opposite points of the globe makes the overwhelming logics of one and the other often not coincide. Exhauste yourself along with them in this journey that any one of their trips represents and, above all, arm yourselves with patience, tolerance and understanding, because both have their own.
