More a documentary about the founding brothers and their personalities

Warning: Spoilers
Visually and animation-wise really beautiful, original and captivating. Apart from that it was more a documentary about the founding brothers and their personalities rather than about the Miniaturwunderland itself and how it functions. The two brothers receive a lot of screen time speaking about each other and themselves. I had hoped to learn more about how such a complex form of organisation works, it's challenges and it's technologies. It wasn't omitted completely but it wasn't the focus of the documentary.

Also I felt uncomfortable when the relationship between the German and the Argentinian teams were portrayed - for the first the cooperation was apparently somewhat interesting and a bit challenging and for the latter it was portrayed as profoundly, emotionally life changing. The way it was recounted, it felt like a weirdly imbalanced portrayal. Hard to say if it was a cinematographic choice to portray it this way or wether it reveals the real imbalance in how they approached each other, I feel like it's more a cliché like and frankly cringe worthy cinematography choice.
