Synopsis
In broad daylight, a drunken woman in a wheelchair calls 911. Soon, a helicopter arrives carrying soldiers, not paramedics, who transport her to a school. There she finds specimens of "the Others," the so-called undesirable: drug addicts, alcoholics, criminals, bums, cripples, you name it. Christian screens and, on occasion, eliminates them, declaring "they" burden their country and neighbors. To him, artists are the first ones to go. Bellinda, one of the hostages and a resistance member, offers her fate-mates a strategy to survive New Copenhagen Criterias, the on-screen cleanup project reminiscent of Platonic propaganda. Challenging audience with the serious traditional Western philosophical quest for what to do with the Others, the plot races towards an eerie ending where survivors head for Africa, as if fleeing is the ultimate answer.
