Production
In 2008, Erika Magnusson and Daniel Andersson asked themselves where modern electronic gadgets come from. They conceived the idea to follow the production cycle of a pedometer in reverse chronological order from end sales back to its origin and manufacture. The route of the journey commenced in Stockholm, then proceeded through Insjön, Gothenburg, Bremerhaven, Rotterdam, Algeciras, Málaga, and finished in Shenzhen at the manufacturer in Bao'an.{{Cite web |last=Dumas |first=Zoe |date=2023-02-13 |title=This Movie Is Literally Five Weeks Long, and It's Brilliant |url=https://movieweb.com/longest-movie-ever-made-logistics/ |access-date=2023-05-29 |website=MovieWeb |language=en}}
