About a Hero

After Dorem Clery supposedly commits suicide in despair over losing his job to a machine, Werner Herzog travels to Getunkirchenburg to investigate his perplexing death. But Herzog, the narrator of the film, is not who he seems, and the film is not what we expect…
The film is a hybrid feature made up of a fictional narrative and a documentary narrative. The fictional narrative is an adaptation of a script written by Kaspar, an AI trained on the body of work by Werner Herzog, while the documentary narrative reflects on this controversial practice.
