Synopsis
The director crosses the United States by car, obsessively recording on his video camera the catastrophic stories that make up the televised regional news programmes that he sees in the various communities through which he passes. From this starting point, he goes in search of the people that he saw on the news in order to get deeper, more personal pictures of them. Reflection on the media, mortality and American-style theology.
