Synopsis

170 hours of material, over a 14-month period, filmed at night in Europe: the staff at an undertaker's sort sealed and apparently identical metal urns after cremation; a nurse looks after bedridden women; police officers use a simulator to learn how to shoot at dangerous suspects; Bavarian Red Cross paramedics hold out a regulation bucket to catch the vomit of drinkers at the Munich Bierfest; shining bright in the night, the triple fence around Ceuta, equipped with electronic detectors and watched over by the Spanish Guardia Civil, protects against immigrants. At the end, a Techno rave in a stadium is shown, with a display of muscular bodies as impressive as the event is vacuous.
