About a Hero

The film starts when a local factory worker named Dorem Clery dies under mysterious circumstances, and our narrator, Werner Herzog, travels to Getunkirchenburg to investigate his perplexing death. But Herzog is not who he seems, and the film is not what we expect. The documentary merges fiction and reality through an AI-generated film script combined with real interviews to investigate the impact of artificial intelligence on art and humanity.

The film is presented as part of the project Cinema as a Laboratory V co-founded by the Foundation for Polish-German Cooperation.
