The film offers a unique insight into the world of Giger's creation and his private life. In addition to the interview with the artist himself, a considerable part of the documentary is formed by interviews with personalities such as Ernst Fuchs, Stanislav Grof and Debbie Harry.

In this case, it is more likely considered to be an authentic perspective on the peculiar world of this Swiss surrealist artist.

H.R. Giger created one of the great iconic symbols of the cinema for the film 'Alien', here he talks about his work and the future of his projects including his Museum and Giger Bar at Gruyeres, Switzerland. Giger has since changed his mind on how he wants to be remembered at the end of the original film and this version has been recut only with that in mind.
