The documentary starts with Steinbauer's obsession with a widely circulated viral video featuring outtakes from an RV commercial shoot, centered on a cantankerous pitchman who regularly becomes outraged and flustered, cursing in colorful mannerisms. Steinbauer researches the video, and discovers that it had been circulating on VHS long before it appeared on the Internet.

Le film aborde la question de la surveillance de masse et son degré d'acceptation par la population résumé par l'argument « je n'ai rien à cacher ». Le fil rouge du documentaire est une expérience d'espionnage volontaire mené sur Mister X, jeune comédien vivant à Berlin. Avec son accord, les métadonnées de son ordinateur et de son smartphone sont récoltées durant un mois à l’aide d’un logiciel espion, puis analysées par des chercheurs. Cela afin d'illustrer le fait qu'il est alors possible d'extraire de nombreuses informations personnelles à partir des services en ligne, réseaux sociaux et applications mobiles (Google, Facebook, WhatsApp, etc.). Cette expérience est entrecoupée d'interventions de lanceurs d'alerte, hackers ou victimes de la surveillance.
