Arthur, Daniel and Dominik probably have a larger pantry, a better equipped tent and a sharper knife than you. They identify as preppers: accumulating supplies and building self defense equipment for potential crisis emergencies.

In ‘We’ll have time for that later’ they turn into cameramen and give directions to filmmaker Verena Hahn, who becomes a protagonist herself. As they instruct her on how to light a bonfire or how to cut firewood, they also convey ideas of how communities should be organised and who has the right to lead or speak.

Verena Hahn shot the documentary shortly before COVID-19 turned hypothetical scenarios from the film into the new normal. At Supermarket 2021, Hahn presents the film together with a furniture piece, designed and built with product designer and carpenter Moritz Müller.
