Jerky footage, shouting, flashing lights, explosions, gasping breaths: these chaotic opening scenes evoke the feeling of a riot, but there isn’t a single person to be seen. This experimental and politically charged animated film uses abstract techniques to confront us with the restraints imposed on us on the basis of physical characteristics, nationality, and social conditions.
