What do I live for? It's a question everyone asks themselves. We all want to give meaning to it, to have a reason to be here. The answer could vary, to name a few examples: wealth, happiness, love, power, knowledge, spirituality, freedom. There are infinite examples, but I wonder: There has to be one truth. One true meaning to this thing we call life. No one will ever know what it is, but how can I live, knowing that my very reason for existing might be false? Would I be able to live my life if I knew it was an illusion?

[TITLE HERE] is a satirical and rhetorical documentary that shows how documentaries manipulate the truth, by doing so openly: cameras, sets, instructions, and reshoots are all on screen. As Vincent Boy Kars talks about honesty, vulnerability, and control, we simultaneously see how that conversation is being steered: questions are rephrased, emotions are directed, and silences are deliberately created or edited out. The film doesn’t show the manipulation in retrospect, but as it happens. This creates a dual conversation: the conversation with Vincent, and the conversation about the making of that conversation. Every story is always an interpretation of reality.
