TEU vol.1 is the first chapter in a trilogy about mankind in the container-age and globalization. The logistics of containerization is so complex, that when seen from afar it could be an organism of its own. An organism that is shaping the world as we know it and whose sense of purpose is proportional to man’s fascination of growth and consumption.

With TEU, Director, Lasse Smith tries to convey new meaning through animation as a documentaristic and poetic medium.

A flight over the desert leads us to an intriguing encounter: a highway, splitting the landscape. In its center, a bright, dazzling yellow line.

Following this line, we find machines that roam across the veins and arteries of Los Angeles. Tirelessly, they paint, and repaint the line, in an endless roundabout.

We slowly discover a gigantic city spreading over the world, picturing a system, which, beyond its flaws, is still able to generate fascinating material, almost unwillingly.
