The camera may capture our actions. But the glare of its lens is insensitive to our tenderness and vulnerabilities. The cast gives compelling vignette performances of frailty and nuance that the director's photographic camera sees. And such is the dramatic irony, knowledge the audience shares but unknown to even a hidden camera network. If a human response becomes a glaring public's fifteen-minute viral obsession, then we, the public, are so blind. Emil is a sheltered and dedicated family man and ad agency boss who becomes absorbed by an experiment that he intended to help his father. The experiment grows into a Frankenstein's monster. It is an experiment that devours its creator. Emil struggles with the human foibles of others but overestimates his own judgment. He loses a wrestling match with the truth of corruption. He saw himself as a god but just finds himself in a tight focus of human suffering. As he says, "The truth will set you free. But what is the price of freedom?"
