The documentary offers privileged access behind the scenes of the fifth and final season, featuring testimonials from the cast, the Duffer Brothers, and the technical team. Throughout the film, creative decisions, internal tensions, and technical challenges that marked the end of the series are revealed. Despite years of development, the Duffer Brothers began filming without the series' finale being locked down. In fact, the script for the final episode, titled 'The Rightside Up,' was still in process while key scenes were being filmed. From scenes that demanded weeks of shooting to scripts that were finished being written in the middle of the recording process. One of the most striking revelations concerns one of the most impactful scenes of the final season: the moment when Will Byers begins to manifest abilities similar to Eleven's, while still connected to the Mind Flayer's hive mind. According to the documentary, that sequence took six weeks to film and is the result of combining five different takes, a key editing decision to enhance the character's emotional impact. Another confession that surprised fans is that filming began without the ending of the story being fully defined.
