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.
