Synopsis
American culture is formed by the entertainment industry. The myth of the "American Dream" is more real than reality – at the cost of reality. The film is a symphony of an american culture in transition and their myths. It seems to fear nothing so much as an enormous loss of meaning in the face of current global crises and new resurgent competitors. The answer is a unique flood of images with which it tries to manifest its myth in the world. With its own associative storytelling the film opens a sensual and poetic experience space between film and dream.
