FOREIGNERS OUT! SCHLINGENSIEFS CONTAINER is a thrilling, insightful, funny chronicle and reflection of one of he biggest public pranks and acts of art terrorism ever committed. Austria 2000: Right after the FPÖ under Jörg Haider had become part of the government, the first time an extreme right wing party became state officials after WW2, infamous German shock director Christoph Schlingensief showed a very unique form of protest.

Empunhando uma metralhadora e usando uma capa preta e uma cartola, ele se tornou uma espécie de justiceiro, desafiando os corruptos e poderosos que dominavam Duque de Caxias. Sua trajetória mistura os papéis de político e bandido, coisa recorrente ainda hoje.
