Plot: Welcome to the world of industrial food production and high-tech farming! To the rhythm of conveyor belts and immense machines, the film looks without commenting into the places where food is produced in Europe: monumental spaces, surreal landscapes and bizarre sounds - a cool, industrial environment which leaves little space for individualism. People, animals, crops and machines play a supporting role in the logistic of this system which provides our society's standard of living. OUR DAILY BREAD is a wide-screen tableau of a feast which isn't always easy to digest - and in which we all take part. A pure, meticulous and high-end film experience that enables the audience to form their own ideas.
Alternative Plot: Filmmaker Nikolaus Geyrhalter abstains from the use of voiceover narration and instead uses only images and sounds to chronicle the often unsettling ways in which food is processed. From vast mechanized farms to slaughterhouses, Geyrhalter presents it all and allows the audience to draw its own conclusions about the food people eat.
