Today's borders show an increasing gradient in terms of wealth and technologies to protect it. At the same time, political entities try to construct a positive, youth-oriented public image. Under the title EURO BEATS, this film reflects the European great power politics ironically in its various facets - the beats initially representing very real physical beatings, furthermore comprehensive strategies of political economy, and finally the youth-friendly soundtrack to the corporate identity of the company Europe. The custom-made techno/rave soundtrack and disco light effects draw an ironic connection between contemporary digital dance music and data processing in sophisticated border technologies.
