As China falls into hyperinflation following the end of the war, people fought tooth and nail to get their hands on the only reliable currencies in the world: gold and American dollars. This is a story that shows how seven bars and two thousand US dollars bring together an interesting mix of characters: an opportunistic manager, a materialistic courtesan, a con artist posing as a commissioner of the Treasury, a white-collar worker who will do anything for a promotion, a man who specialises in conning women, a father who marries off his daughter for money and a sorcerer who fakes his magic. In this dog-eat-dog world, the only truth is that everyone is lying for his own gain. Playing the courtesan who longs to be part of high society, Li Lihua steals the film with a feisty performance opposite the amusing Yan Jun, whose con artist character has a tendency to flirt with lyrics from Peking operas.

The short film "Der Rückfall in die Dekadenz" by Federico Mesina deals with the 28-year-old actor Friedrich von Rebenstiel, who has agreed to be interviewed for a film. In the style of a mockumentary, von Rebenstiel is also accompanied outside of the interview.

In doing so, the initially clear boundary becomes increasingly blurred and ultimately erases the private person completely.
