What would happen if everything stopped? If the engine gears of the economy jammed for good? The Japanese island of Ikeshima is a place that seems to be ahead of its time, showing us a possible future. The few remaining inhabitants live in a surreal setting, clinging firmly to a normality that seems however to escape them. A dreamlike journey, which forces us to think about our relationship with the planet but also about social isolation and loneliness.

Cosa accadrebbe se tutto si fermasse? Se gli ingranaggi dell'economia si bloccassero per sempre? L'isola giapponese di Ikeshima è un luogo che sembra anticipare i tempi, mostrandoci un futuro possibile. I pochi abitanti rimasti vivono in uno scenario surreale, aggrappati saldamente a una normalità che sembra però sfuggire loro. Un viaggio onirico, che ci costringe a riflettere sul nostro rapporto con il pianeta ma anche sull'isolamento sociale e la solitudine.
