Somewhere deep in the European forest they meet: border commuters, smugglers, refugees, workers, asylum seekers, inspectors, artists, musicians, actors, journalists, fellows, logisticians, students, ghosts. They come from everywhere, and all of them stand for our time. In a chorus of voices they hold a conversation about origins and justice, body and state, import and export, home and migration, about happiness, music and death, in a world of global flows of goods where people cross borders legally and illegally and identities become uncertain.
