ABOUT THE MOVIE

Derelict and obsolete machines tell a story from recordings preserved in the television archive. The story unfolds in four cycles. With the death of the machines, their stories die as well. The stories of unfulfilled human pursuits and messages to future generations disappear in the recordings’ entropy. What saves us from the unrelenting river of oblivion?
