Through found footage, the film focuses on the migration crisis and immigration caused by the impact of global capitalism. Consisting of images and found footage from the recording of the work "8 Poetry of Immigration" by John Berger, which was read to the audience in 2007 at the Fine Arts Center in Madrid, the narrative of the movie is revealed by the conflict between image and sound order. With the out-of-context (misuse) use of commercial images and music, the film creates a critical structure that opposes capitalism.
