Plot summary

"A travelogue through Shangri-La, a fictitious paradise from the classic novel Lost Horizon. Twenty years ago a Tibetan tourist spot in China presented scientific proof that it was the real Shangri-La. In her search for the truth behind the supposed evidence the filmmaker excavates lay-ers of fact and fiction of the area. What words and images have attached themselves to facts? How do stories come into being and how do they shape reality?" (the production company's synopsis)
