The documentary starts with a short prologue (Niermann taking a bath in the
Schlachtensee lake in Berlin), followed by the actual interviews which are divided into four main chapters: :I. Investigation :II. Creation :III. Incubation :IV. Presentation In the interview series, the focus is on how the art business works and how an artist can be successful and create a lasting work of art. In the course of the film, Niermann develops the idea for an epochal work of art in an exemplary manner. Niermann then develops the concept of a pyramid. The pyramid would be peeled out of a mountain or hill several hundred meters high. The work would be financed by a collector who would then be buried inside the pyramid thus created. After the death of the collector, the demolished material must be piled up again. The pyramid is to disappear. The film ends at the
Wachsenburg in
Thuringia. Niedling and Niermann present their idea to the lord of the castle. They ask how much a collector would have to pay to have the castle temporarily pulled down and then the pyramid peeled out of the mountain as planned.
