Synopsis
The city of Lhokseumawe (Aceh, Indonesia) has been socially and culturally defined by the extraction of natural gas. The film shows the impact of the dismantling of the extraction district on the population and, in a multi-faceted and intimate way, also the acceptance of the industrialization process in the area.
