From the liner notes

In the year 2034, the Kruger star system is dominated by a powerful corporate giant called the Suez Canal Company. Large portions of the galaxy have been portioned off to major corporations, which exploit raw materials and push out smaller businesses. All companies must have an operator’s license, which smaller companies have difficulty obtaining and keeping. Any business without a license is considered a pirate. In this tightly controlled arena, salvagers Vincenze and Maria Starr, space pilot Douglas, and entrepreneur Furst eke out a living as rebels or pirates against the Suez Canal Company.

The futuristic vision of New German Cinema founder Alexander Kluge, The Big Mess offers a unique and provocative interpretation of sci-fi.
