Inspired by the spirit of classic mockumentaries such as Woody Allen’s ZELIG and Peter Jackson’s FORGOTTEN SILVER, the film takes viewers on a unique version of the fight against the Third Reich, joyfully erasing the border between fiction and reality for the viewers who, taken on this unique ride, can’t help but ask: did this really happen?
Vienna, 1996. A mini-DV tape with footage for a student documentary. Alina and Flora interview unreliable witnesses to the appearance of extraterrestrial reptilian creatures. But soon they themselves drift further and further into the narrative: Lizards subjugating humanity through hybridization? Sounds plausible.
