Synopsys:

The Real Thing is a VR journey into a copy of our world.

Entire neighbourhoods around China’s largest cities have been inspired by foreign models. The film explores the most stunning of these ‘fake cities’, travelling from Paris to London and Venice – without leaving China. The inhabitants guide us in the parallel world where they have chosen to live.As VR leads the way to virtual tourism, copycat cities compete to offer a real experience of static travel. Walking the thin line between reality and virtuality, this documentary combines both in order to enhance a whole new feeling of ubiquity.
