In 2004, director Michael Kloft (The Goebbels Experiment) accompanied government historians and surveyors as they inspected various underground tunnels, bunkers, and silos built by the Nazis between 1940 and 1945. Some, mainly in Germany and occupied Poland, were built as shelters to house high-ranking Nazi officials like Adolf Hitler, Joseph Goebbels, and Martin Bormann. Others, in the northern coast of occupied France, were constructed by Armaments Minister Albert Speer to serve as massive missile silos to launch V2 rocket attacks against London and, eventually, the United States. Interviews with surviving slave laborers and SS officials tell the story of how and why these tunnels were built. (from dvdverdict.com)

In the video, the musicians are captured in a candid, observational style, typical of Tillmans' photographic approach. The song itself, a power ballad by the Scorpions, became an anthem associated with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Cold War, making the video a poignant reflection on that historical moment and its continuing resonance

"Don't Go Home With Satan is the first part of my experimental short animation series based on my dreams. Video is based on a song I heard on my dream. When waking up I could not recall it anymore. Several months later it suddenly came to me again. I found a skull from the forest, perhaps a fox, mice had eaten some of it. I turned it around and saw something creepy, like face of a devil, and as walking back to a house I start humming the song from my dream; 'Don't go home with Satan, he will eat your children'. Skull became a character and I build the story around it."
