A found-footage mockumentary that uses dark comedy and formal estrangement to chronicle one man's psychological unraveling as the European dream curdles into paranoia and madness.

A journalist from an Eastern European country arrives in Paris to start a tour of European capitals. His intention is to make a documentary about the European dream. Between fascination and difficulty of adaptation, Sorgoï struggles to complete his project and his expedition drives him to a devastating state of madness.
