When the exhibition was banned in 1978, Heinze turned to other projects, but Dammbeck continued working on the film by himself.

Is consciousness a coincidence or the result of a delicate, inevitable evolutionary process? Is spirit replicable? Are we divisible entities or complete, infinite parts? Break-Cycle tries to make us experience a possible poetic vision of what would be the process of digitalization of our mind through a dreamlike and emotional journey in which the different natural conflicts inherent to consciousness will be manifested.
