从一袋漂洋过海抵达汉堡的咖啡豆出发，走进仓库城博物馆，追踪货物从远洋船、驳船到仓库的旅程。从仓储管理人的称重、取样与分类，到自由港、水道、海关边界与城市拆迁，看不断扩大的全球贸易如何重新组织汉堡的空间，也认识博物馆创始人 Henning Rademacher 如何保存这段历史。最后，让汉堡与两千多年前依江河、舟楫与商贸发展的楚文明，展开一场跨越时空的对话。 Follow a sack of coffee as it travels across the ocean into Hamburg’s Speicherstadtmuseum, from ships and harbour barges to warehouses, weighing, sampling and storage. The journey reveals how expanding global trade created new waterways, customs boundaries and the free port, while reshaping inhabited parts of Hamburg itself. It also leads to museum founder Henning Rademacher and the preservation of this history, before bringing Hamburg into a cross-civilizational dialogue with the river, trade and transport world of ancient Chu.
