Based on John Cage's centuries-long organ piece As SLow aS Possible, this portmanteau road movie follows the meanderings of Salpa, a human being with a fish on his chin. The quest for his own identity is carried on ad absurdum.

This is already founded within the production: 18 authors have taken turns writing the screenplay. The amount and sequence of the scenes correlate with John Cage's organ piece As Slow As Possible. The performance venue of that piece, Halberstadt, is the apparent destination of Salpa's journey. But, arrived, no redemption is waiting...
