We live in a time full of unrest and disruption. An unsettling age. One of the primary functions of cinema is that it comforts: it takes us away for a moment from the actuality and it allows for extreme expression, the grotesque. The film presents a sharp and ironic journey through the history and future of image technology and AI.

As an author, he made a name for himself primarily with short stories and was a member of the Gruppe 47 circle, as well as writing scientific and philosophical works.
