Beautifully rendered in 35mm, the film is authentic and compassionate, and a valuable addition to the Irish documentary canon.
Six soldiers and their lieutenant are on an exploratory mission a few days before the end of a training course. Unfortunately, due to a mistake, the group gets lost and accidentally ends up on French territory. The lieutenant is then faced with a real dilemma: returning to Switzerland via the nearest customs post means accepting the legal consequences—in fact, any Swiss national who crosses the border with an assault rifle is automatically considered a deserter—or returning to the country illegally through the forest, which is foreign territory and sometimes dangerous.

Myths and stories abound that speak to man's desire to bring life to inanimate matter. A Perfect Fake looks at the persistence of these myths in modern times and takes us into the world of men who have chosen to reject the reality of human sexual companionship in order to pursue emotional and physical bonds with a variety of erotic surrogates. This film examines the emerging market for hyper-realistic simulations of real women through computer-generated virtual pornography and erotica. A Perfect Fake also delves into the disturbing world of men who share their lives with life-sized female love dolls.
