Squeezed into a dollhouse, a giant fluffy head is headbanging. This crispy and short music video recalls the Eat Me cakes from “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”: Here, though, the larger-than-life head feeds on the energy of the driving, grinding punk riffs and pumped vocals of the Belgian band project Valse Muziek. The head is growing heavier and heavier, begins to shimmer in vivid colours. The house turns. The video image stops.

An unembellished look at the inner workings of a fur-processing facility that neither advertises it nor suggests a safe workplace. The Zwenkau film studio, which had already lost the “FDJ” suffix in 1989, unsparingly captures the conditions that the employees of the VEB Edelpelz Leipzig-Schkeuditz were exposed to. These images need no commentary but are accompanied with haunting music.
Disclaimer: This documentary film contains neither images of fur farms nor of the slaughter, skinning or killing of animals.
