In the New York Times Ronald Christ calles the book "A kind of Bible". In the manner of "an electroshock", the film shows a new vision of American history from the beginning to the end of this century. A puppet theatre designed especially for this film by Walter Tournier is, so to speak, the dramaturgical thread. History and stories of the entire American continent are told, interwoven with legends, unique historical documents and genre pictures.
