Within the haunting cycle of mass production, human labor contrasts with the endless stock of coffins in a Berlin factory. In light of computer-aided manufacturing and the excessive overexploitation of natural resources, this film longs for a moment of rest from the assembly line, while mankind continually buries itself in the remnants of a material world.
