A cyborg with a split personality and fluid gender zaps through time to collect his/her ”selves” in a struggle against a family obsessed with lineage: This cartoon-like, futuristic low-budget horror satire by Austro-British filmmaker Hans Scheirl turns the real into the absurd, at least for the duration of a small cybernetic, chemo-sexual film adventure. Identity is just a matter of creativity, and far beyond cinema’'s limitations. (Text: Stefan Grissemann – sixpackfilm)
