A whistleblowing documentary parable about Nothing, narrated – in simple childish verse – by Iggy Pop. One day, Nothing runs away from home, tired of being misunderstood. There follows a feelgood adventure in which Nothing roams the world like a fallen prophet, denouncing our delusions and admitting its own, all the while trying to persuade us of its natural, necessary and ultimately constructive role. Each shot, sound, cut or line in the film represents a connotation, manifestation or quirky point of view of Nothing; each twist in the plot – a mirrored slice of our own lives.

On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war-loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.
