In the 80s, a nunnery in Navarra was home to the Arco Iris community. Nowadays the building is inhabited by cloistered monks, and the traces of that period are imperceptible.

A landscape of electronic equipment leftovers, embedded in biting clouds of smoke, burnt earth and dirty water. In Agbogbloshie - one of the world's largest e-waste recycling sites in the middle of Accra - they were dismantled and burnt in order to return their metals to the industrial recycling cycles. In between, an observer who, by means of acoustic field research, investigates this place as a contact zone of complex global economic, social, power-political and technological processes and questions this from a spiritual perspective.

A girl lands by paragliding in Lima city center. As she moves through the city and the beach, she remembers what it was like to accompany two close friends in their clandestine abortion processes.
