An extraordinary film about the ordinary! Very few talking heads, very many personal encounters between people. It's not the famous and furious super-recovered super-peers coming with a whole lot of information about their achievements (even if they are); it's just people talking to each other. Very ordinary life encounters - though they are very far from the ordinary.
