The film is an animated interpretation of an interview of Larkin by Landreth, and includes interviews with Larkin’s previous partner and coworkers, as well as Landreth.
Development of the characters was partially inspired by the plastinated human bodies of the Body Worlds exhibition.
The distorted and disembodied appearance of the film’s characters is based on Landreth’s use of psychological realism to portray emotion visually, and expression is modelled by use of straight ahead animation.
