At a moment when collective bargaining rights are under attack in the United States, and China continues to bow to foreign pressures to prevent such rights from being granted at all, this film asks: Is capitalism the Trojan horse that turns on its inventors?

- DirectorYury LeidermanAndrey SilvestrovStarsKovalskiy ArseniyCóten BustilloAndy FukutomeOverall, the idea is to make ethnicities, politics, races, nations - to make all of them turn into non-existent objects... ...akin to ovals, boxes, blobs, wardrobes! You might think he's really "someone", really a "representative of the people", but really just a representative of skirting boards, of coffee rings, nothing more. Overall, political invective's that should be perceived solely as poetic invective's. Overall, spreading geopolitics across geology and poetics. Like a question-Eskimo, dancing and waving his ribbons in the air, turns and changes on a pillar, becomes a question-Holocaust. In fact, "geopoetics" is a kind of a Holocaust seen as a choir, as an ensemblement, as an Eskimo.
