Synopsis

Following the death of a worker under mysterious circumstances, filmmaker Werner Herzog travels to Getunkirchenburg to investigate his perplexing demise. But Herzog, our narrator, isn’t who he appears to be, and the film isn’t what we were expecting either. A combination of artificial intelligence and the German director's work, About a Hero comes across as an unsettling experience that raises questions about a world where AI is more and more pervasive.
