In the centre of the Germany's Ruhr Valley, the famous “heartbeat of steel” has gone silent. After only eight years in operation, this ultramodern coke (processed coal) plant has been shut down and is slowly being dismantled. Piece by piece, the factory is being broken down and moved to China. The documentary follows the collision that occurs between cultures, as 400 Chinese workers are supervised by the last 30 German workers in the Shutdown Department to move the gigantic industrial plant overseas.

A question emerges in the process: Who is ultimately the winner and who is the loser when jobs move from one part of the world to another?

Winner of the Best International Feature Award at the 2007 HotDOCS International Film Festival
