The story

An opening narration explains that the film's purpose is to examine the "world strategy of food", in terms of its production, distribution and consumption. Following the principles of dialectical montage at both the level of detail and of overall structure, the film is divided into three major parts: "Food – As It Was" (prewar), "Food – As It Is" (during the war) and "Food – As It Might Be" (looking forward to the postwar era).
