The film "Completely Invalid, Just an Attempt" takes Anton Bruckner's (1824–1896) "Symphony No. 0" as its starting point—a work the Austrian composer himself described as "invalid."

Annika Kahrs uses this so-called "zero" as a material and conceptual foundation to explore processes of discarding, revising, and reinventing. Five musicians perform Bruckner's "zero" symphony in a concert hall.
During the performance, the original score is altered, having been previously erased, overwritten, or supplemented by hand by young people from various locations within the realms of music reception and production. In this way, classical interpretation and contemporary forms of composition intertwine to create a new piece of music.
