Paris, the Taj Mahal, Venice, the Vatican…
All these monuments and many more have replicas scattered around
the
globe. Not just simple copies, these constructions are mirrors in
which a
certain image of the world is reflected.
THE REAL THING is a journey into a copy of our world. Seeking the
monumental copycat architecture of China and other countries
around the
world. Residential areas where people live an everyday life in
places
simulating other places.

and ARTE France.
The VR film is directed by Benoit Felici and Mathias Chelebourg
