One day, then another, a worker in an automated factory does his job and forgets his past.
The factory fails. Accuses. He runs away.
One day, but then another, the man sees through his memory to a disconcerting reality.
“The People United Will Never Be Defeated”. That’s how Catarina Romano’s new film begins — with a poster on the wall that carries the historical memory of a revolution and is placed in dialogue with recent times: automation, artificial intelligence, alienation, the climate emergency, and other announced ends of the world. A political, enigmatic, and intriguing film. A film that asks us questions and becomes even more relevant as we witness a process of reverse revolution unfolding across the world, with a car as the symbolic figure of retrogression, just like in this film. And all of it brought to life through an animation of incredible plasticity. (Carlos Ramos)
