Вооруженный коллекцией многих причудливых вопросов и обещанием не снимать «другое кино о пингвинах», режиссер Вернер Херцог едет в Антарктиду, с намерением снять фильм о том, что он найдёт подо льдом. Он начинает свою историю на военном самолете, который доставит его на станцию McMurdo, американскому Антарктическому исследовательскому центру. Станция расположена на южной стороне Острова Росса, на берегу McMurdo Sound, и может поддерживать жизнь и работу приблизительно 1200 человек. Вернер Херцог берет интервью у философов, банкиров, и даже других кинопроизводителей, у всех тех, кто сбежал от своей обычной городской жизни для того, чтобы жить и работать на McMurdo. Он также берёт интервью у некоторых учёных и преподавателей школы выживания.

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.
