Synopsis
The consumer society is dead. Welcome to the preservation society! As of their first school year, children are taught to love objects, which most of them do. But not all citizens. To remedy the problem, The security forces crack down on vandals, bands of protesters and other iconoclasts. And for greater efficiency the States uses the services of Kief, a mad scientist who operates on prisoners so as to pair them with totem-objects. Which is why Judith gets wrinkles when her clothes are creased. Which is why the skin of librarian Mikoski gets pierced with holes whenever rats gnaw at his books.

Mood and atmosphere
In a world where consumerism is a distant memory, this film immerses you in a surreal exploration of attachment and identity. The atmosphere is tinged with a haunting nostalgia for a past filled with genuine connection, contrasting sharply with the stark, cold reality of a society obsessed with objects. Experience the eerie beauty of minimalism, where every frame pulses with an unsettling energy, evoking feelings of loneliness intertwined with a desperate quest for meaning. The film's unique visual style, reminiscent of a dystopian future, invites reflection on the consequences of our choices, while the whimsical yet melancholy soundtrack lingers in your mind, creating a cozy yet thought-provoking ambiance that resonates long after the credits roll.
