That is what it is about

A group of robots with animal heads meet in a hotel on a rainy night. It seems to be some kind of circle. They party hard, they tear the hotel room to pieces. And then the time has come: the big moment for the robot with the bear's head has arrived... WTF? Guys, what director Jan Bitzer delivers here is hard to put into words and simply leaves you in awe. A mysterious, psychedelic cinematic monster of intangible beauty and ludicrous technical brilliance.
