What is the meaning of life? What are love, humor, fear, and death? Is it all just a dream? Who are we? Will we wake up? Will we remember? The film is looking for answers to these questions and many others as well as opens different points of view of the World and our lives, and that in seemingly small and great things. The consumer’s world relies on consumption, and money and rarely offers a different perspective on the meaning of life. The aforementioned “drugs“control us and constantly offer an endless spiral of emotions. One of the main characters is a specific fantasy creature that guides the heroes into different dimensions, and their subconsciousness, and shows them unexplored states of our mind in a unique way.
