out of control, 16min., Switzerland
Directed by bellopropello
Machines and robots take care of almost all human activities. The world is automated, and meaningful individual employment isn't possible anymore. A workforce simply is no longer needed – except for some monitoring activities – and humans are doomed to carry out completely insignificant, absurd and repetitive work. The monotony of everyday life blends with suppressed desires resulting in a conflicting existence between reality and fiction.
