We are in Tropical Islands, a leisure complex near Krausnick, a village 70 kilometres south of Berlin on the site of a former Soviet airbase. At this very spot, moving from one affectation to the next, the upheavals of the last century pile up like so much sediment.

UntitledThis documentary portrays Dubai as the latest neo-capitalist nightmare: a virtual reality reminiscent of Second Life, brought into being by the sweat of an immigrant workforce.

A place where reality is perceived in a special way, but also where people transcend boundaries of time, place, perception, logic, roles, and the way feelings are conceived.

A world of struggle and hope, inner freedom and physical confinement: the world with its rules and perceptions. A rewarding journey.
