A socio-political travelogue following traces of fear and conscience in both present and past Europe: from the tightly guarded borders of the old continent to a nationalist demonstration in Warsaw, from the beaches of Normandy to May Day celebrations with trade unionists and anarchists, from the burning streets of Tbilisi all the way to the island of Lesbos – a symbol of hope for a dignified life for those fleeing war. The film meanders wanders through seemingly unrelated detours, constantly turning to the audience with the question: Is this truly “our way of life”?
