"Nuestro pan de cada día" refleja el día a día de todo el proceso de industrialización y mecanización a la que ha sido sometida la ganadería y la agricultura en un país desarrollado.

Senad and Edis live in a small remote village on Bjelasnica, a mountain just outside Sarajevo. During the war their village, being situated on the front, was evacuated - both Senad’s and Edis’ families returned just a short time ago.

A small bar on the outskirts of Vienna. Its foreign-born regulars live on the edge of society. The majority are illegal immigrants, unemployed and without financial resources, living at the edge of mere survival. For a small group of native Turks, this existence represents a transitory phase which might eventually lead to a better life. Cemo, one of them, is unable to carry on between hope and reality. Nachtreise is a milieu study which will acquaint its viewers with a group of people whose lives have not been touched by what is termed integration.

The year 2000, elsewhere. 12 months. 12 episodes. Weeks, days, single moments of different ways of life. Tradition and change. People of different cultural and geographical background. A film about their life. A journey through voices and sounds from elsewhere, with no commentary added. Landscapes, outlooks on the world, outlooks on life: Desert, snow, valley, jungle, ice, rainforest, stones, swamps, mountains, the sea, forests, a South-Sea atoll. An homage to humanity at the beginning of the 21st century.

In January 2002 the Temelín nuclear power plant, which is located in the Czech Republic less than 50 kilometers from the Austrian border, went into trial operation. This film attempts to calmly and objectively present a different Temelín: the village of the same name which lies in the romantic hills of southern Bohemia with its 300 residents. Not all of them view the power plant with enthusiasm, but here the pros and cons are not based on the arguments of the media - people have developed their own strategies for life with “their“ power plant.
