Can I Get a Witness? tells the story of a mother and daughter in a near-future world where huge sacrifices are made to maintain life on Earth. 　　With its resources swallowed by e-waste and overpopulation, the world is experiencing an anthropogenic collapse. To manage, technological advances are shunned. Nobody has electricity and only people with exceptions are permitted cars. Most importantly, there is also a collective agreement that nobody is allowed to live beyond the age of 50. 　　Oh’s Ellie lives with her teenage daughter Kiah (Keira Jang), who is starting her first day as a Documenter, an important role in this new world order. She uses her artistic gifts — beautifully conjured in animations — to draw the dying ceremonies, since printing and photography have been banned. 　　Kiah is paired with Daniel (Joel Oulette), the young man who performs the contractual elements of each person’s end-of-life ceremony. He matter-of-factly provides the packages a person can choose, sets them up when the time comes, and performs the burials. But his new coworker is having a hard time handling the emotional impacts of the job.

本片主要的底本资源采自所罗门·伏尔科夫那本争议颇大的“肖斯塔科维奇口述自传”《见证》（www.douban.com/subject/1144865/），全片以作曲家独白形式展开，契合原书的“口述”特征。电影脚本编写相当出彩，导演帕尔默也参与了脚本写作，伏尔科夫担任顾问。影片将俄罗斯二十世纪的悲剧历史和作曲家的创作心路交织在一起，大量运用象征性的影像，音乐运用和剪辑流畅，加深了影像的冲击力。影片主线围绕作曲家和斯大林展开，较有争议的段落是作曲家与独裁者在临终时的对话场景，展现了所谓历史正义和个人良知的冲突。全片长达2小时40分钟。

影片改编自朱丽卡·帕维斯柯(Jurica Pavicic)的小说《雪花白绵羊》(Alabaster Sheep)，以20世纪90年代初克罗地亚与塞尔维亚之间战争为背景，讲的是从前线返回小镇休假的三名克族士兵计划炸掉小镇上一座塞族人的房子，结果由于材料不称手，他们只是击毙了屋主人，绑架了他的小女儿。 　　影片后来的情节发展较为出人意料。克族与塞族的战争越来越激烈，前线不断送回伤亡士兵。克族与塞族的仇恨日益高涨。然而小镇上的人，包括一名警局侦探和一名新闻记者，作出裁断说不能让这些杀了塞族居民的冷血杀手继续居留在小镇上，尽管被害的那名塞族人 名声并不好，传闻说他以走私起家。导演打破了对情节的单一直线式叙述方式，影片不断以不同人物的视角闪回主要事件，反映了不同人对同一事件的看法和立场。 　　影片中心自然是要反映人们面对道德伦理的二重选择时进退维谷，不过，布雷森导演拍摄的另一个意图是要引起世间关注克族人犯下的罪行。他说："在我们的社会里，战争中的罪行还没有得到人们的充分关注，甚至连罪行本身都没有严格的界定，无法以法律制裁，也没有办法去制止。因此，我感到很有必要讨论一下这些犯罪。如果人们认为影片结局过分光明乐观不切实际，因为那反映了我们的期望。"
