And Then They Forgot God

I suppose , the high realism of story, in the context of present is the main motif to appreciate this short film, less dystopian than you can hope.

In same measure, it reminds me Ceausescu regime- the basic food was obtain grace a ration book , like in this film. And bureaucracy - it is always, energetic, precise, more than efficient and heartless.

A man has the ration book deteriorated. He must proof than it is not his guilt. But the envelop is lost, the bureaucracy implacable , the others are animated by fear when can help his family about legal consequences and , when the things seems solved, the state has an objection changing everything.

The last scenes are real impressive. Indeed, the basic purpose was about religious message. But , today, it seems a precise image of globalisation and the arbitrary rules of its institutions - pillars.
