This unusual collaboration between Augustin Rebetez and Martin Zimmermann draws upon the silent film tradition to develop a collection of exceptionally comical sequences. The 12 black-and-white short episodes are filmed in stop-motion and embrace a DIY aesthetic that is both spontaneous and stunning. They present different characters, all played by Martin Zimmermann. Whether they are refugees, farmers, doctors, gallery owners, or bank robbers, they are all terrible frauds. The viewer will find the most cunning of them all, Mr. Skeleton, in each episode.
