Herzog viaja a la comunidad Antártica de la estación Mc Murdo Station, Oficina Central de la National Science Foundation y al hogar de cientos de personas durante el verano austral (Octubre-Febrero). Sobre el curso de este viaje, Herzog examina la naturaleza humana y la madre naturaleza, alternando impresionantes localizaciones, reflexiones profundas, surrealistas y también en ocasiones absurdas experiencias de los biólogos, de los físicos, de los fontaneros, y de los conductores de camiones, que han elegido formar parte de una sociedad tan lejana como uno nunca hubiera podido imaginar.

For almost a century and a half, Her Majesty's Ship Breadalbane lay wrecked and forgotten under the Arctic ice. In the spring of 1983, noted undersea explorer Dr. Joseph MacInnis led a team of twenty men on one of the most difficult, dangerous and unforgettable undersea adventures of the century--to put a diver on board the sunken vessel and recover some artifacts. This film, introduced by H.R.H. Prince Charles, provides a stunning visual account of this historic expedition.

The title alludes to Denmark’s Law no. 533 of April 29 2015, originating with the Social Democrats, which prohibits sexual conduct between humans and animals (with a few exceptions, such as artificial insemination). The video, however, does not preoccupy itself with “animal sex”, but with mankind’s in a general sense erotic relationship to animals, which appears to play a considerable motivating part in such prohibitions. The found footage and still images, of which the video consists, shows the animal as it is: seen at second hand.
