That what traditionally sets the documentary apart from the fictional, is its "realness". But in this age of 24 hour news channels, "embedded" journalism, information highways, we feel that to speak of and firmly believe in such a reality, or more specifically; in such an objective representation of reality, is an anachronism.

This video does not concentrate on the facts surrounding the Prestige event, but on the subjective experience of people that were affected by it. The main question in the interviews is: "What happened?" Not surprisingly, no two answers were the same. This makes the story of our document also one about storytelling itself.
