SYNOPSIS

Quinn has a magical fridge that constantly supplies her and her friends with new, exotic delicacies. Their lives are all about luxury, lust and ecstasy. They don’t waste a thought on where all the delicacies come from and how the magic fridge actually works. It works and that’s what matters. They only start to look more closely at it when it starts to give less and less and then seems to be completely broken. In desperation, Quinn begins to take the fridge apart and discovers the source of the apparent magic.

MOTIVATION
.
Sashimi red tuna with mango-avocado dip and macadamia chia seed pudding. Exotic delicacies are now part of everyday life for many of us. They can be found anywhere, at any time. A situation that seems increasingly absurd in the context of the intensifying climate crisis. But the situation is complex. Mechanisms of repression are used to maintain psychological stability, allowing us to continue living in the status quo.
The film deals with our excessive consumerism and the consequences for our environment. The film can be read as a documentary stocktaking, where the images shown are intended to raise awareness of the issue and strengthen the feeling of solidarity with our environment.
