Der geringste Widerstand (The point of least resistance) was the first film by Fischli and Weiss. Set against a film noir-style Los Angeles background, the animal partners become embroiled in a murder mystery that raises questions and observations on the nature of art and crime before spiraling into sublime fights of fancy.
In Der rechte Weg (The right way) as they hike through the mountains at the mercy of the elements and all kinds of miracles and, above all, at the mercy of themselves, Rat and Bear try to find reasons for all they see and experience, getting closer than expected to the right way.
