Everything is an adaptation of a short story by Austrian writer Ingeborg Bachmann. The inner monologue of a man talking in very existentialist, philosophical terms about fatherhood, parenting, childhood, his woman, is the fictional foreground to real life taking place in an assemblage of home footage.
The use of archival home video depicting friends and family, using multiples of him, the child, and woman, whilst telling one couple's story, hints at something of a universal 'family condition’. The unauthorized use of privately collected video and the 'misplacing' of 'real' image onto a fictional canvas raises questions about the objectification of our real life selves, though day-to-day cataloging.
