在这部维也纳——家庭故事纪录片片中,奧地利長大的華人女孩，為追尋家族歷史，逐步刨入被近代中國遺忘的歷史與傷痛。年年與父母回到中國探望祖父母的她，偶然發現外曾祖父曾從事左翼話劇與電影。她一方面追探上海黃金時代的電影事業，一方面也對比了父系祖先的貧農家庭，在明白文革與家族傷痛的同時，也逐漸了解歷史如何成為世代的傷痕。
Two family histories, one century and two metropolises merge in one person: Weina Zhao, whose parents called her \"Vienna\" - Wéiyenà - because they emigrated to Austria. Her journey into the history of China leads to the Cultural Revolution, modern China and tackles the great issues of the 21st century: migration, identity and the search for one's past.
