Sinopsis

Bureaucracy shapes our lives and guides us from the cradle to the grave. This documentary lays bare the idiosyncrasies of bureaucracy, whether in Canada, Austria, Hungary, the Vatican or the Virgin Islands. It also attempts to make the functioning of the public service more comprehensible. The absurdities of bureaucratic behaviour are exposed with humour and irreverence.

'LSD': Trip or Trap!
The Inglewood Police Department's 1960s video, "LSD: Trip or Trap?" is a classic of the genre. Alex sez, "It's a story of two friends who enjoy flying model planes, except that one becomes an 'acidhead' so he can be 'groovy' with the other acidheads. The other does research into LSD and decides it's a 'bummer'."
La pesca del salmón en Yemen
El doctor Alfred Jones (Ewan McGregor), miembro del Centro Nacional para el Fomento de la Piscicultura, debe su reputación a un trabajo pionero sobre la reproducción de los moluscos. Cuando su jefe le pide que estudie la posibilidad de introducir el salmón en Yemen, rechaza la propuesta rotundamente. Lo que ignora es que detrás del proyecto está un acaudalado jeque árabe (Amr Waked), empeñado en exportar el arte de la pesca con mosca al norte de Yemen. Sin embargo, el disparatado proyecto capta la atención de un ambicioso asesor del primer ministro, que ve en él una excelente oportunidad para mejorar el prestigio del Reino Unido en Oriente Medio y, de paso, consolidar su futuro político. Cuando el proyecto se pone en marcha, el doctor Jones se ve obligado a reconsiderar su dictamen inicial y a colaborar con la joven y atractiva representante del jeque (Emily Blunt).

The Finishing Line
When a schoolboy's day-dream of a fantasy sports day includes events where acts of vandalism and trespass are required, dire consequences ensue.

Driving to the Edge
Between 2007 and 2011, 725 Quebecers aged 16 to 24 were killed in car accidents. Excessive speed and alcohol were involved in half of these deaths. To try to understand what is going on in these young drivers' heads when they get behind the wheel, host and documentary filmmaker Paul Arcand met with some of them. On one hand, he gives a voice to these young people who love driving fast. On the other hand, he provides a forum for two accident victims who were injured both physically and psychologically. Finally, the director meets the mother of little Bianca Leduc, who was killed by a drunk driver while she was in the care of her babysitter, and the parents of Michael Borduas, 23, who is severely disabled from an accident.

Nacht der Gaukler
Drugs Are Like That
[…] Though the highs and lows of human experience are all here, it's often the gimcrack set design and fashion chops in these vintage clunkers that really wow – the pot-holder sweater vests, ponytails decorated with yarn, hippies with crumb-catching moustaches, banana-seat bikes and a hard rain of Quaaludes and amphetamines to illustrate the dangers of drug addiction. It is hard to believe anyone would buy the goofball cause-and-effect of that pill-popper's weather pattern in "Drugs Are Like That". Co-produced by the Miami Junior League and narrated by Anita Bryant in this cheery little hand-slapper, a kid stealing cookies from a cookie jar is implied to be headed down a bad road to Bowery bum rolls and LSD parties.
