- A cinematic essay about the analytical power of utopias as depicted in early documentary films and political pamphlets, centering on excerpts of Fabrik Poldihütte, a fragment of an early Austrian sponsored film about Karl Wittgenstein's steel factory (originally titled Das Stahlwerk der Poldihütte während des Weltkriegs / Poldihütte steel works during the Great War, 1916), the British documentary and propaganda film The Battle of the Somme (1916, Geoffrey Malins and John McDowell), the "reactionary modernist" Nazi propaganda film Metall des Himmels (1935, Walter Ruttmann), and the text "Europe's Optical Illusion" (1909) - British pacifist Norman Angell's pamphlet about the "Great Illusion" that war and military action can help maintain the status of countries in the "economically civilized" world.
- The film is a reflection on the medieval folk tradition of "benandanti" ("good walkers"), who believed they had special powers to fight witches, ogres and demons threatening harvests and children. Who are the "benandanti" of today and who are the witches and ogres of our times? Can these assigned roles be put into question? The film analyses three stories, trying to recover the sense of truth and the truth of the sense, starting from the relations between individuals and the respect that every statement of the human race deserves.
