(2020년 제15회 부산국제어린이청소년영화제) 기왕의 정치적, 인종적 갈등에 주목한 난민 영화라기보다 좀 더 거시적으로, 인간의 이기심에 의해 사라지는 모든 것들에 대한 연민을 그려낸다. 독일이 2022년까지 원자력 발전을 중단하겠다고 선언한 후, 에너지 비축을 위해 석탄 개발 사업으로 전환한다고 선포한 시점부터 현재까지가 영화의 배경으로, 전 지구적 문제인 기후위기와도 맥이 닿아있는 작품이다. 사회적 문제와 주인공 벤의 개인적 성장 스토리가 촘촘히 연결되어 있어 그 연결망을 파악하는 해보는 것도 관람 포인트 중 하나.

Isn't it then the duty of a politician and citizen to resist?

A mockumentary in 8 episodes: new solutions and thinking models, which will be with us in the near future and make the world a little more livable. An "active health insurance", in which the insured directly take over everything including medical activities and thus save costs. A new currency that expires in a few weeks and therefore stimulates spending. Unemployed people who, as "loan siblings", are given a new job and a good life. The traffic therapy group that wants to make you understand the snake as a "unitary organism". A therapy office in the fresh air, which finally gives musty psychotherapy a healthy freedom.
