In this "metafilm", Jon Bang Carlsen explains his method, like he already did in It’s Now or Never. He thinks that a documentary film-maker does not only register what he sees: he can also invent reality. Jon Bang Carlsen compares the camera with an eye that registers everything, but is itself unable to see. By using the images that the eye has registered, the filmmaker then makes reality visible.
