EAT, SLEEP, NO WOMAN (ESSEN, SCHLAFEN, KEINE FRAUEN) Made in Germany

As American Cruise missiles begin raining down upon Taliban targets, their impact is felt far beyond Afghanistan’s borders. Throughout he world, people notice subtle shifts in their daily lives.

In Pakistan, a billboard painter for a local movie theater worries that attendance will drop because everyone is watching television. In the Amazon, two prospectors enjoy a jump in the value of gold, meaning they can eat chicken daily, instead of just once a week. In France, Egypt, China, Brazil and beyond, similar stories unfold in Heiner Stadler’s idiosyncratic film of private lives, viewed from a global perspective. Reassembling documentary footage shot over the past 10 years, journalist-turned-filmmaker Stadler creates his fiction out of fact, in the process revealing a truth that will never be reported on the nightly news.

EAT, SLEEP, NO WOMEN illuminates the fact that, as the world shrinks, no one-socially, economically, politically, emotionally- can escape the effects of war.
