In a recycling factory in the north of France the machines dance, the workers join in song, and the truckdrivers almost make a ballet. The film shows the process of recycling by impressive machines and by hand. We hear the noise that accompagnies this process. Slowly the factory noise becomes a rhythm and a truckdriver starts to sing a song for his love. He wants to build an island with the materials at hand, where they can be together to ‘sort things out‘.

The tumour is a ntural biological force. So is cancer. And so is children’s spontaneity,a force that manifest itself with astonishing strength. Sick children are, before anything else, children. That is why for us Demain j’irai mieux is a very uplifting film.

Thousands of struggling moroccan fishermen have to move always further south -from Essaouira to Dakhla in the Sahara- to keep hope in catching some fish, any fish, if any left to catch. In the background, quite close from the shores, huge foreign trawlers drag the waters with their death nets, killing an entire ecosystem, sometimes literally vacuuming it.
