Luxembourg is rich, Luxembourg is quiet, Luxembourg is safe. Why leave this apparent heaven? From Northern Canada to tropical paradise, from Jerusalem to the desert kingdom of Gobir, this film is about Luxembourgers who had to leave their home country, in order to find themselves better at home. A question spurs this trip around the world: do we want to remain who we are?

In Meadows Wait, Mist Diffuses, Dzhovani Gospodinov captures the enigmatic energies of Hosbësch. Shot over a period of four years with motion sensor cameras and linked to Gospodinov's own fragmentary memories of the site's topography, the film poeticizes the gradual destruction of a landscape and questions the ethics of our intrusion into nature. It moves between voyeurism and introspection and is at the same time a portrait of - and an elegy to - Hosbësch.

A series of vignette-style scenes illustrates the many hazards people face in road traffic. It opens with a young woman struck by a car and rescued by arriving paramedics, then depicts various everyday traffic situations, demonstrating correct behavior and respect for road signs. Two provincial men arrive in the city in an old car, flagrantly ignoring traffic rules, while the finale humorously shows a dog crossing the street correctly, underscoring the film’s road‐safety message.
