The basic idea is to get former Indonesian death squad leaders to re-enact the executions they performed in the mid '60's, in whatever film genre they prefer. The results are Hollywood-ized gangster films and a surreal, whimsical musical number that is both baffling and disturbingly amusing. At first the leaders act as if they've been celebrities all these years, brushing off their actions as natural order but as they revisit these buried feelings things become clearer to them and revealing their worst nightmares.
It sounds obvious that a study of mass murderers should be so disturbing but I still felt unprepared for what sort of impact it would have.
