To prevent an ecological collapse, it is decided that the number of people on earth must be reduced by fifty percent. In a fictional documentary, politicians, experts, and ordinary citizens from the street are interviewed about this. At first, there is general agreement, as everyone assumes that they are indispensable and on the safe side. The victims of this radical measure must be others, that much is clear. However, when the criteria for deciding who can stay and who must go become concrete, the situation escalates, and a dirty battle of survival of the fittest ensues.
