CARGO CARRIERS is a story about a dreamy landscape and well-known architecture: in the perfect picture of the scene, noise fields break through the idyllic surroundings. The soundscape of the island is created by the prohibition of any kind of vehicle. For the transport of all goods, "carrying guys", independent workers with special carts, are employed. By means of experimental camera work, field recording and contemporary Chinese poetry, the tension between historical world cultural heritage, tourism, precarious work situations and life is negotiated.
