Western standard of living, civilization, and the urge to exclude others from it are the core of Geyrhalter's newest cinematic doc ABENDLAND. Entirely shot at night Geyrhalter takes us on a very personal journey through the Western World and the structures that guarantee our "civilized" world. Sometimes darkness can help us see things more clearly.
