The director himself is a journalist. During one interview he made an acquaintance with a small group of people. Somewhat miraculously, the group allowed the director to enter into their lives and their world of drug use and peddling. He used his video camera to record the process of their coming to know each other. Three years later, the central figure in the film has been sentenced to death for the crime of "transporting drugs"… Just exactly what sort of relationship do the documentary maker and those filmed have? This film has the answer.
