T.U.V. is a corporation qualified in providing european certificates of suitability to goods and commodities. Its Nuremberg headquarters, where the video has been shot, is specialized in toys and infancy products examinations. This video, in between documentary and fiction, through a procedural journey in the completion of the test that becomes the making of the video itself, investigates the concept of ‘suitability’ and wonder how high is the price for being accepted by a community.
