150 nuclear missiles are stored in subterranean arsenals situated around the small American town of Minot, North Dakota; grim relics of a war that never took place. Monotonous landscapes and trailer parks alongside rows of uniform small houses stretch before your eyes as you travel through. The voices of the locals talk about their everyday life, which is marked by paranoia, racism and surveillance, while the camera continues almost restlessly on – always moving, because nobody would want to stay here.
