Wittgenstein Tractatus is Forgács' tribute to Ludwig Wittgenstein's Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. The film is made up of seven short sections, each relating to one of Wittgenstein's philosophical propositions, as home movies from early 20th century Europe are accompanied by voiceovers and text from the Tractatus. Wittgenstein's thesis that the world is made up of a series of interconnected atomic facts is a crucial influence on Forgács' use of montage to connect found footage from home movies. The compilation of snippets of daily life echoes the oracular aphorisms of Wittgenstein's text.

Meanwhile Somewhere juxtaposes vignettes from daily life in Europe during World War II. These vignettes in turn are composed around recurring footage from the ritual humiliation of a German soldier and a young Polish woman being punished for their romance. In an excellent example of Forgács' re-orchestration of history, the montage forces the viewer to confront questions about the relationship between individual existence and the historical events that happen while daily life continues.
