It is an award-winning short film by the young filmmaker, Nuno Sá Pessoa, who has been present at 46 international festivals. The science fiction film addresses an unexpected encounter that exposes the frailties of citizens and the policies that govern them.
Nuno Sá Pessoa created a parallel universe that addresses an international society controlled by the Union of Worlds, which results from the collapse of developed countries around the globe and seeks to control all possible "subversive elements" that deviate from the new geo-political and social order. According to the filmmaker, this short film that was filmed in 2014 served as a vehicle to show "my opinion regarding the economic situation of Portugal and the world in general." The short film reinforces the idea of an oppressive state first because it is filmed in black and white, that is, a world with few options, rare freedoms and many obligations. Then there is the plot that underlines the idea of the fear of expressing an opinion, of being different, of being outside the norms, not because it is dangerous, only outside the laws of the normality, being unemployed, unable to produce without stopping. It is an allusion, in my view, to the book "1984" by George Orwell that has never been as current as today, and the title of the film refers us to this, even if it is a genre like science fiction, puts a relevant question about how easily we accept and submit to certain ideas, or rules of (sub)living in society as dogmas and have not questioned ourselves why?
