Story
Filmmaker Lars von Trier challenges director Jørgen Leth to recreate his 1967 short film The Perfect Human multiple times, each under different constraints. As Leth works through these creative obstacles, von Trier keeps introducing new and more demanding rules for each remake. The documentary captures this artistic experiment, showing how filmmakers adapt and respond when forced to work within increasingly complex limitations.
