A single room, a few chambermaids from ex-Yugoslavia, a translator, an investigation. Like in a detective story slowly but surely a precise picture of the enormous pressure, the employees of the illustrious Ceasar’s Palace in Las Vegas are submitted to. "It’s a film about the linguistic description of work, a film about the necessity of a discussion in a moment of crisis and a film about the circumstances of it’s production." (Gerhard Friedl/Laura Horelli)
