TRAILER
In an alternate reality, created and managed by computers and very similar to the present world, everyone is happy... except for four individuals who decide to change their lives and be free.
Ushima-Next raises a critical reflection on hyper-consumerist and hyper-informed society. It follows in the footsteps of the Panic Cinema movement that was created by Fernando Arrabal, Alejandro Jodorowsky, and Roland Topor in the 1970s. According to Arrabal, it is "the first post-panic genre film."
