The film unfolds in a single, several‑minute long take, presenting a stark, visually striking field of unknown location. A lone truck rolls in, its horn sounding, and from beneath the tall grass roughly thirty figures emerge and board. They seem to be fleeing toward a hopeful doorway, but as the vehicle departs it confronts an imposing police presence and a helicopter, cutting off their escape.
