In a remote, abandoned industrial site near a centuries-old ore mine in the Austrian Alps, a self-taught mechanic runs a business repurposing and exporting used cars to his native Nigeria. Bewegungen eines nahen Bergs quietly observes him as he pursues his lonely day-to-day activities with serenity and precision, dismantling, cleaning and fixing motors and other car parts; and then in Nigeria, hustling to sell on the fruits of his labour.
