Saw this at the Imagine filmfestival 2021, usually in Amsterdam but now 100% online. Filmmakers went at great length to create a dystopian world full of mysteries, e.g. The technician speaking semi-understandable sentences full of hidden meaning. It was apparently a mining operation but without any visible purpose other than the daily routine and keeping the machines working. Compliant behaviour was not enforced by an external power, yet deviant actions were distrusted as harmful for the group. In other words, a form of self-control without any help from outside.

I had expected much more from the finale, but it did not solve anything and revealed nothing about what was behind all this. There was no Q&A to enlighten us.

This was a dissapointing watch for me. This could have been so better. So overall it feels like a short film which attempts to extend its runtime. The shaky camera movement makes the movie annoying and distracting. We have no idea about who the main character is and we are not aware of his surroundings. There is very little dialogue and they are boring and uninteresting. The element of tension is insufficient. It was very hard for me to connect with the main character. The ending was nicely done and strengthened the message given.

Took me a bit of time to get into it. Really well written and brilliant performances with fantastic direction.
