Lutvijais the central character of the film, a gypsy king, who decided to establish his own gypsy village. He names it Shanghai. Belmondo makes a living on smuggling and his power and influence grow large. He even gets local police and politics on his side and that helps him to become untouchable for law. But with the downfall of Yugoslavia, smuggling of goods is replaced by smuggling of the arms. Though lucrative, the business starts to threaten Belmondo’s personal life and he finds himself at the crossroads. Will he protect his own family or is he going to sacrifice his personal happiness for business ambitions? The King of Shanghai is the story about eternal longing for happiness; it is the story about love and family ties, in which tears are intertwined with laughs. The story is set in times of the downfall of Yugoslavia, in times when many people had forgotten that beauty of life actually lies in small things.

Marjuta Slamič je v filmu ŠANGHAJ zasijala v polnosti, sočnosti. Bila je bolj ciganska, kot cigani sami. Deluje tako celostno, da se zdi močna in ulita kot monolit. V njej čutiš neskončno materinsko moč, mleko, solze, varnost, v njenih očeh pa sonce, ki sije na vse okoli sebe. Njena Phirav Pao je tradicionalna mati, ki v sebi nosi organsko erotiko, brezsramno in ponosno. Skozi njo verjameš v preživetje in nadaljevanje družine, sozvočje njene materinske moči in razigrane erotike, navdušuje.
Ker je nismo opazili, kar je redkost v Slovenskem filmu.
