In 2013, online clay animator Robert Benfer scammed hundreds of fans out of thousands of dollars and has continued to become less of the independent film icon he used to be, though his unique influence on video creators remains to this day.

Explores the nature of man, not only with feet of clay, but with a face of clay as well. Within a colourless city of walls, corridors, and small rooms, a man makes his way from home to work, then to a bar, and then, by a stroke of luck, into an outdoors of space, fresh air, and colour. Along the way, he changes his face to fit his surroundings, interacts with his dog, argues with co-workers, and gossips at a bar. His altering of his visage suggests a two-faced nature, and his stepping into the outdoors provides the ultimate test of his real identity.
This film was reconstructed and completed in 1995 by Javier Codesal for the Filmoteca de Andalucia, from the montage and the sound that Val del Omar had outlined before his death, after having returned to a project abandoned twenty years before with the incorporation of significant additions (above all in the soundtrack). Val del Omar's notes show that, as he typically did, he had other alternative titles in mind, such as "Acariño de la Terra Meiga" (Caress of the Magic Land), "Acariño a nosa terra" (Caress of Our Land), or "Barro de ánimas" (Clay of Souls), and that in the final phase of the unfinished project he wanted to add a second sound channel – following the diaphonic principle, and using electro-acoustic techniques – consisting of ambient material that he intended to record at the first screenings of the film in the very places and to the very people that were its origin: its "clay".

Per molti anni il regista Rithy Panh ha cercato una fotografia scattata tra il 1975 e il 1979, periodo in cui in Cambogia detenevano il potere i Khmer Rossi. Convinto che una fotografia, nonostante non sia la prova concreta di un omicidio di massa, permetta di pensare a molte cose, di meditare e di riscrivere la Storia, l'ha ricercata invano negli archivi, tra vecchi documenti e nelle campagne della Cambogia, arrivando alla conclusione che sia andata persa. Ha deciso così di ricorrere al cinema restituendo non uno scatto o la ricerca di una sola fotografia ma l'immagine di una ricerca.
