在这部电影创作家纪录片片中,当电影人马克得知,下一部作品若不包含犯罪、性和大明星就拉不到投资时,他决定拿起摄像机,以自家为阵地拍摄电影。两个前来更换篱笆的英国建筑工人暂时移除了他和邻居之间的屏障,随后,一个巴基斯坦女邻居入镜,善良的哥伦比亚家政被街旁斯洛文尼亚流浪汉的困境打动,五组人在客厅热闹地交谈起来。然而,接下来发展的事却越过了善意的边界,也大大出乎了所有人的意料。影片以看似随意的纪录视频准确地浓缩和描绘了英国当今的移民现状和阶级冲突,并在结尾才揭露了令人深思的讽刺内核。
When the Filmmaker is told his next film must be about crime, sex or celebrity to get funded, he takes matters into his own hands and begins shooting in his home with a cast of characters connected to his own life. Two English builders, employed to replace the garden fence, temporarily remove the barrier between the house and a Pakistani neighbour. A homeless Slovakian man charms the Filmmaker's Colombian cleaner to let him in and tests everyone's ideas of boundaries and hospitality.
