- An episodic, dreamlike film about the waste of humanity. The film traces a journey through Africa, Europe and the USA, taking in the consequences of hyper-inflation, human-trafficking, electronic waste, the arms industry and death to show how goods such as sophisticated weaponry, cars, money, and even memories can turn into waste and how waste can unexpectedly change into valuables, as the symbolic meaning changes.
- The charred ruins of famous occultist Aleister Crowley's Sicilian villa are the site of a resurrection. As Crowley's diaries and poems are read aloud, they wake the dead.
- Le radeau de la Méduse parallels the wrecked boats of the African immigrants on the Italian Lampedusa island and the abandoned cars of asylum seekers that have traveled from Russia to Salla, Finnish Lapland with Théodore Géricault's painting The Raft of the Medusa (1818-1819), located in Louvre. Based on true events, the subject of the painting is the 1816 shipwreck of Méduse, a frigate with administrative personnel on their way from France to African colonies. The passengers of the ship rescued on a raft they built and left drifting on the open sea with fatal consequences.
- Fresh Kills in New York is the world's largest rubbish dump where, among other things, the Twin Towers can be found. This ghostly, 16mm footage provides a final portrait of Western civilisation at this 'archaeological dig'. New York is also surrounded by many 'potter's fields': cemeteries for the poor and the unknown.
- Inflation has resulted in the Zimbabwe dollar completely losing its value. Banknotes are literally recyclable goods, turned into tablecloths and lampshades, for example. In the Harare slums, which are rife with crime, valuable US dollar banknotes must be concealed in clothing, which means that the notes quickly become breeding grounds for bacteria. According to money launderers, dollar bills can best be gently hand washed with Omo detergent in warm water.
