A stark, observational documentary that transforms industrial food production into surreal, unsettling visual and sonic landscapes, inviting critical reflection on mechanization and dehumanization.

Welcome to the world of industrial food production and high-tech farming! To the rhythm of conveyor belts and immense machines, the film looks without commenting into the places where food is produced in Europe: monumental spaces, surreal landscapes and bizarre sounds - a cool, industrial environment which leaves little space for individualism.
