A gravel path on the edge of a village. Between fields and over to a fence. Drawn into the map of former uranium mining areas in Saxony and Thuringia. Night. Darkness. The ground exposes the film, leaving a trail of its invisible rays. The film follows this trace through space and time, and looks at the material, metaphorical and geopolitical rearrangements of the element uranium.
