The film follows the manufacture of a car along the assembly lines through the various production sectors. The factory is a network of streets, with link roads, crossroads and junctions. Making a film is not much different. You pursue an idea and the facts flood in on you from all sides. You concentrate on the material and get distracted from reality. You look for an image and hear only sound. You have a concept, experience refutes it. You look at pure details and in doing so discover the core of the matter. For "film archeologist" Hartmut Bitomsky, a documentary film is no different from a feature film. Hitchcock also had an idea for a film about a car factory. The film follows the creation of a car, how it proceeds through the various manufacturing stages. When the car reaches the end of the assembly line, a dead body is found inside. Despite the fact that production was being monitored throughout, no-one has seen how it happened and no-one knows how it could have happened. And what is the VW philosophy ? According to the designer : "Somewhere the link between the past and the future".
