Synopsis

Society has collapsed. Art from the past is viewed as decadent, and its consumption is illegal. A trio of musicians who discovered an abandoned house during their journey find vinyl records of the old times hidden in the ruins, and among them are the LPs of Bronski Beat, a band that led to the trend of Synthpop in the 80s. The languid mechanical sound of the synthesizer in the video of analog textures fascinates the viewer with mysterious tension mixed with sentimentality, excitement, and fear.
