USSAK

USSAK

Somewhere in the near future, disparate people: roving performers, outcasts, representatives of a dark power, farmers, they all live under extreme conditions, sunk in apathy. In the background, is a dismantled country. Ussak explores praises the idea of community and the meaning of utopia. At the end of the narration the following words are uttered: “Dude, a utopian is but an absolute materialist.”
