Synopsis
“Interweaving images of the Spanish tourist mecca of Formentera, a community centre in Columbus, Ohio, and factories in the Netherlands, the film vividly illustrates the fragmented, alienated lives that the market economy produces and chillingly portrays what van der Keuken saw as ‘a conveyor belt [that] runs across the world’.” Viennale
