The video is focused on the trials and errors of developing a futuristic city and logistic hub in Anaklia, a village lying on the north-western edge of the Georgian Republic. An essayistic documentary investigates the material and social conditions that are produced as a result of ambitious infrastructural investments, aimed at transforming the country of Georgia into a trade corridor between Europe and China for the speculative New Silk Road project.
