When you look at a painting, you may want to know more about it, such as the character, what kind of story he/she has, what he or she is thinking, the meaning of this look... "The Land of Painting", let the painting three-dimensional come alive, take you into the painting, transform the painting into a movie, and experience the wonderful journey of traveling through the painting together.
We see a painting at the beginning, and through the lens, we enter it, with lola (the heroine) of short hair in dark skin sitting in a tree, not far away is her girlfriend Claire and boyfriend Ramo, who are secretly meeting. In their world, according to the difference in the degree of completion of the characters, they are divided into three kinds of people: the person who is completed by the painter is called the "picture of the whole person"; even if there is an uncolored stroke, it is also an "unfinished person"; living at the bottom, the person who is treated as a slave by the whole person is only a completed draft, and the "line writer" who is not colored is the "line writer" who only completes the draft and is not colored. Luxurious castles can only be entered by the whole person, and love is forbidden between people of different ranks. The tuquan Ramo fights for the right rights of the unfinished person (Claire is the unfinished person), but is driven out of the castle by the tuquan.
A chance encounter brought Lola, Ramo, and the linewriter Quil into the forest, and they decided to go to the painter to complete the painting and solve the problem of inequality once and for all. On the way, she encountered a strong wind and sand that caused Lola to walk out of the painting, and the other two followed her out of the original world.
Lola accidentally falls into a painting of war hanging beneath her. When she tells the people in the painting that they are only in the painting, only one soldier, Magenta, believes what she says, helps her escape, and then follows her away from the world where every day is a war.
They then discovered the painter's studio, which had been idle for a long time, and inquired about the artist's whereabouts from the fast-talking blue clown, the self-portrait of the grumpy painter, and the half-naked lady. Madame said that the painter loved Venice the most, opened the window, pointed out the direction, and they entered the water city to revel in the painting. Here, they meet hundreds of painters, and Ramo stumbles upon a painter's left-behind paint, which makes him think that even if there are no painters, they can try to change their appearance on their own. They went back to the painter's self-portrait and found that it was not difficult to paint, and through their own efforts, they were able to master and change their destiny.
They found various paints and brushes in the studio, returned to their original hometown, and taught their companions how to change their old appearance and no longer have ranks and discrimination because of their appearance. Ramo completed the color of the face for Clarie.
Completing her wish, Lola walked out of her paintings, went to the painter's studio, walked out of the studio to the garden, and saw the "painter" painting, painting the blue sky and clouds. She told the "painter" that many of the people in his work had done their own paintings themselves, and the "painter" found it interesting.
Then Lola continued walking, she had guessed that the "painter" was also the person in the painting, she wanted to know who painted the "painter", she went to find the ultimate painter. When she walks out of the painting, she will see another world, and the excitement will continue, as long as the curiosity that longs to explore is still there.
There are many metaphors in this work: excessive attention to appearance, racial discrimination, extremism, totalitarianism, death... Everyone can see a different world in this film. At the end, the "painter" tells Lola that "a simple picture is usually more beautiful than a finely drawn work", and if the line writer hears this sentence, will he regret making himself like a whole person?
