The film LiveSafelyinEurope starts as a commercial for a gated community. The initial text taken from real commercials for such residential communities is combined with a montage of nostalgic images of childhood, historical views of the Berlin Wall and citations from the film Stepford Wives. In a kaleidoscope of scenes filmed in gated communities, at the European borders, in migrant ghettos and closed spaces in the virtual world of the 'second life', the film questions the concept of security and shows the ambivalence of this constructed reality.
The film closes superimposing images of gated communities, CCTV cameras and the flag of the European Union, creating a vision of a society fenced in by their own fears. Aliens of any kind, be they geographically, or socially different from the fragile project of a European identity based on uniformity are excluded.
