Paris-based, Tehran-born electronic producer and classically-trained musician Mahdyar presents a pounding experimental soundtrack to a dystopian visual triptych by filmmaker and digital artist Hirad Sab, who has created videos for the likes of electronic musicians Sevdaliza and Ash Koosha. This timely yet trippy film—blending animated and real footage—imagines a future where consumers enter virtual environments to vicariously experience the traumas of poverty.

The US-based director explains how the narrative explores "the possible effects of technology on one's perception of social economics and poverty. It investigates how the current glamorization of poverty and violence can affect assumptions about the self's economic status in the future, leading to a culture of economic desensitization."
