It was written by the director with some improvisations by the cast and includes guest appearances by artists Hito Steyerl, Wolfgang Müller and others.

They are mostly essay films but some were materialized as real performances to an unsuspecting audience, such as the full-nudity monologue by Shirley Rosenthal which was recorded live at the Barbie Deinhoff queer bar, a known establishment in Berlin.

[3] The film deals with an imaginary world based in narrative deconstruction, in the deformation and experimentation of the figure, in the image that overflows its materiality to break down, revive and divide itself.

The writing credits were attributed to Pierre Menard,[5] a fictional character from a short story by Jorge Luis Borges[6] The film was produced with a grant by Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg and the French art foundation Bambi.
