This film highlights current energy developments in the Albanian port city of Vlora and explores the role of international financial institutions in the sector's development. Specifically the film questions whether the involvement of the World Bank, European Investment Bank, and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development is a positive impetus to economic development in Vlora, or rather hinders more crucial developments in tourism, fishing and agriculture. The film also gives voice to perspectives of local communities on the ground, and highlights the massive resistance that these energy developments are confronting.
