A young filmmaker wants to make a film: a hybrid form between documentary and fiction about friends wanting to make art. The kind professor is fond of the concept and asks the protagonists for their permission. So far, so good. However, soon problems start to pile up. The camera man doubts the screenplay, which he thinks is too heavy on dialogue. One artist is too successful to spare enough time, the other feels like the concept frames her too much as the unsuccessful one. One's own desire to tell and make visible comes into conflict with the desires of others to be seen and not seen. "Why not use actors?" asks the camera man. With a lot of humor and self-irony, Kai Ro Liao tells of complex relationships of the documentary to the truth.
