In 1953, the CinemaScope image format was introduced, whose perspective gave a wider range and could thus compete with the square format of the newly launched television. As a result of the cost, CinemaScope was not launched in Sweden until later, and it took some time before the format was accepted within the film industry. The film takes a meta-perspective on the film medium as such in sequences when the camera is shown in picture or the dachshund Piccolo breaks in to avoid other formats. The short film about the dachshund is a humorous take on the ambivalence of technological development at the time. It was shot by Sven Nykvist, just before he became synonymous with Ingmar Bergman's big productions.
