The film deals with different people providing their accounts on the many people they killed in their past, including reenactments involving actors. Often times, killing people are spoken as if it was a daily, normal thing for them, no resentment. They often speak about an office where they killed countless people. There are also many people who contributed but claim no responsibility.
A man tells how he dragged people and beat them to death. He claimed there was always too much blood, so he used metal hangers. He would tie on part to a pole and wrap it around the person, then pull it hard so there would be less blood to clean up. The man speaking shows what he did on a person, while not actually killing the man he reinacts it on, we still get the visual of how they died. Throughout the movie a lot of people talk about the many people they tortured this way.

A man tells how his father was taken away when he was a child and they found his body and buried him. The men doing the reinactments decide to let him be part of the movie and be one of the actors who are tortured. They 'torture' him like how they would have done to his father. We see the pain in the man's eyes as the men speak how they most likely tortured his father.
There are other reinactments that involve torture.
