The setting of the film is a riverboat cruise ship floating up the Yangtze river. Two young people are the focus of the film as they work aboard the ship. One is a sixteen-year-old girl from a particularly poor family living on the banks of the Yangtze near Fengdu, named "Cindy" Yu Shui. She is followed as she leaves her family to work on one of the cruise ships serving wealthy western tourists at the same time as her family is being forced from their home due to the flooding that accompanied the building of the dam. The film shows her acclimatization to the consumer economy of tourism as well as modern technology of the cruise ships, juxtaposed with her family and other older citizens who are displaced from a rural lifestyle to cities where they must pay for the vegetables they used to grow on their own.

Sur les traces des grands documentaristes Henri Storck et Joris Ivens, Patric Jean met en parallèle deux époques (1933-1999) et déplore en cette fin de siècle une misère toujours présente…, pire, intolérable aujourd’hui. Sous forme de lettre-vidéo adressée à Henri Storck, sa caméra s’attarde dans les familles, dans les quartiers, auprès des responsables politiques locaux pour illustrer la transmission de la misère intellectuelle et de la pauvreté d'une génération à l'autre. Ce qui étonne, c'est le silence qui entoure les pauvres : à force d’être méprisés, ils se méprisent eux-mêmes. Ils souffrent, en silence, dans une violence de tous les jours.

Au Canada, le nord du Québec et de l'Ontario recèle d'immenses richesses minières, qui ont généré des profits faramineux, au mépris de l'environnement et de la santé des travailleurs. C'est une histoire qui passe par le nickel de Sudbury, l'argent de Cobalt, l'or de Timmins, le cuivre de Rouyn.
