NOVEMBER 2005

Shockingly humorous

Blonde Lotus

Cecilie Gamst Berg

Norwegian Kat Glasø runs away from the snow and moustaches that plague her homeland and accidentally ends up in China, where her life-long suspicion of having been born in the wrong country is confirmed once and for all.

As she burns a trail of adventure and mishap through China and Hong Kong, she lives out her fantasy of being a suffering dissident Chinese scholar. She also tests the credence of a Finnish philosopher’s famous saying: "Sexual intercourse can sometimes lead to closer acquaintance."
