Instead of the expected camera movement to be of the quasi-documentary and touristic aesthetic capturing Ammán's diverse and exotic environment, Žák's camera remains static, fixed at one spot from which it gazes from a distance or zooms into the city life; the life unattainable from such a position. Reality and the author's subjectivity step in as the film gets to its second half when Žák turns the camera to capture his face. These shots are mixed up with the sequences showing the footage from the International Defense and Security Technology Fair IDET which content is a commentary in itself with a hint of a non-constructed national bias.
