Ano de 1814. Cidade de Edo (atual Tokyo). Um artista já realizado em vida e agora de meia idade, Tetsuzo tem em suas mãos clientes de todo japão e incansavelmente trabalha em sua "cheio-de-lixo" e caótica casa/ateliê. Ele passa seus dias criando incríveis obras de arte, desde um retrato gigantesco de Bodhidharma em 180 m² de papel, a dois pardais pintados em um grão de arroz. De temperamento curto, extremamente sarcástico, sem paixão por motivo ou dinheiro, ele investiria uma fortuna por qualquer trabalho que ele tivesse realmente interessado. Terceira das quatro filhas de Tetsuzo e nascida de seu segundo casamento, autodeclarada de 23 anos, O-Ei herdou o talento de seu pai e teimosia, várias das vezes ela quem pintava ao invés do pai, mesmo que descreditada. Sua arte é tão poderosa que algumas vezes gerava problemas.

A comic, biting and revelatory documentary following a small group of prankster activists as they gain worldwide notoriety for impersonating the World Trade Organization (WTO) on television and at business conferences around the world.

This film, shot by 100 amateur camera operators, tells the story of the enormous street protests in Seattle, Washington in November 1999, against the World Trade Organization summit being held there.

Against them is a brutal police force and a hostile media as well as the stain of a minority of destructively overzealous comrades. Against all odds, the protesters bravely faced fierce opposition to take back the rightful democratic power that the political and corporate elite of the world is determined to deny the little people.

Includes interviews with historian Simon Schama and artist Tracey Emin.
