Short filmTranscript
00:00In the futuristic dystopia, people are known as members, their lives are controlled by an administration known as a collective.
00:07Most of the disease is cured, there is no violence or crime, but emotions have also been released in this process, and now it is forbidden to show any feelings or any contact with other members.
00:18There is no love or marriage, and babies are born as artificial offspring whenever a certain woman is invited to do her part for society.
00:25There is no color or decoration, and everyone wears white and lacks personality.
00:29Even their faces are boring, and the only hobbies they have are basic tasks that are repeated like solving a puzzle.
00:35They also have chips on their hands so that computers can monitor everyday life, and that chip must be scanned every time they use the train or enter their work building.
00:44One of these members is a force that follows the same routine as everyone else, wakes up and lets the bed get ready, a light breakfast and goes to work.
00:52No one talks while they travel by train, but they whisper while they work.
00:55Everywhere around them, screens remind members to report every deviant behavior, including small things such as a weak smile.
01:02The screens also talk about a disease called SOS, or syndrome of active state, because of which people return their emotions.
01:09Members are reminded to visit a doctor if there are signs of symptoms.
01:13The force works for the company Atmos as an illustrator, so he spends the whole day drawing on the screen.
01:18His art is quite contrasting in the world he lives in, probably because he is inspired by the documentary he listens to while working.
01:25This documentary talks about the Great War, a period during which the collective struggled to separate from the peninsula, a chaotic place where emotions are not suppressed.
01:33There are two moments in the day during which the workers talk to each other.
01:38The first is during project meetings so that they can talk about ideas, and the force listens to them and does not offer the most attention.
01:44The second moment is lunch, during which everyone sits at a sufficient distance from each other.
01:49Their conversation, however, is not very lively and consists of factual topics, such as a colleague who has returned from duty for a while.
01:55At the end of the day, the force leaves the house and watches as the police arrest a sick couple.
02:00Later in his apartment, the force continues its good routine.
02:03A meal prepared by a domestic AI, solving another generic riddle, and going to bed.
02:08This is the same routine that everyone else in the building has.
02:11The next day, the force watches the news and finds out that the sick couple will be sent to a facility for Defective Emotional Neuropathy, or D.E.N.
02:19The members are reminded again to report all signs of SOS, whether they are themselves or their colleagues.
02:24Later at work, the employee only rubs himself with a drop of blood, which often happens in this society.
02:29The employee goes to the window to look at the body, but no one is disturbed except for someone who makes very small covers that the force notices.
02:37However, this information holds up for itself.
02:40After that, all the employees of Amos gather for another meeting.
02:44While everyone has their attention on the screen, the force takes the opportunity to watch the news, trying to decide whether it is sick.
02:50In the end, watching a beautiful woman for so long begins to change something in him.
02:54Later at home, the force is nervous while eating dinner, because he can't stop thinking about the news, and even has a problem finishing his meal.
03:01The next day, during another work meeting, the force continues to leave the zone and must be proud of it.
03:06That night, he dreams that he is standing on a roof, and when he falls, he wakes up.
03:10This is the first time he has dreamed, so he feels so confused and disoriented that he has landed on a wall.
03:15The next morning, he discovers a bluehead on his forehead and goes to the health center.
03:19There he sees a woman crying while watching a video recording of SOS and its four phases of symptoms.
03:24A man named Jonas asks the force on which screen, but the force replies that he is sick.
03:29Then Jonas explains that he is on the second screen.
03:32After that, the force sees the doctor and talks about the night sea, so he immediately tests and the doctor confirms that he has SOS.
03:38The force is currently afraid because he thinks he will be sent to the D.I.N. institution, but the doctor assures him that he is working on treatment, so everything will be fine as long as the symptoms are not out of control.
03:47Then the force checks his home computer and notices that his profile already says that he has the first phase of SOS.
03:53Later at work, someone asks the force why he has a bluehead, so the force agrees and says that he got it on time and does not want to discover his illness yet.
04:01His colleague doubts him, but the force's statement is not included and confirms his story.
04:06During lunch, the bluehead lands on their table and grabs him in the glass before I let him go.
04:11While she explains how strange it is that bees can fly, the force cannot stop looking at her.
04:16After work, the force must collect the bluehead and medicines in the health center.
04:20At home, he watches videos for members of the SOS, explaining that it is a genetic problem, a gene that should be pressed, emotions do not work and only inhibitory drugs can treat worse symptoms.
04:31The next day at work, the force still feels a lot of new things that distract him from his work.
04:36He loses focus, has depressive moments, and also becomes very sensitive to light.
04:41When he manages to work, his drawings are very unconventional.
04:44Later, during a break, the force finds Neo in the bathroom and he has a very uncomfortable conversation.
04:49After that, the force begins to follow Neo, and she does not notice it until she disappears from her apartment.
04:54This experience indicates that the force decides to stop taking medicine.
04:58The next day, the force deliberately changes roles with a colleague so that he could ask Neo to check his work.
05:03Neo notices that he is strange, but still helps him.
05:06This is noticed by his superiors, who are concerned that they do not communicate enjoyment.
05:10Neo gives very good feedback, but the force focuses more on observing her face.
05:16He becomes so obsessed with her to the point that later at night the force enters the empty office and uses Neo's computer to listen to her recordings.
05:24During the next meeting, the force accidentally spills his drink, and when a colleague helps him, his nuances are revealed.
05:30Now the force has no choice but to admit that he has SOS, and if he pretends not to be infected, they decide to separate him from the group.
05:37The force is hurt because Neo does not agree with the idea.
05:40Since then, the force has been working in a corner far from others.
05:43After work, the force continues to follow Neo.
05:45This time she notices a surprise from behind, threatening to report him if he disappears.
05:50When the force says that Neo also has SOS, she tries to dismantle it, so the force points out that she would have reported him if she had not been hit.
05:58Not knowing what to say, Neo leaves.
06:00The next day, the force and Neo pretend that nothing has happened, and Neo tries to avoid interacting with him as much as possible.
06:07However, the force notices that she is very concerned, confirming his theory.
06:12Later, when they are alone in the office, the tension is so great that Neo rushes to hide in the bathroom.
06:17The force follows them and the two of them stand in the same line of sight while trying to understand what they feel.
06:23After a bit of spitting, the force touches her hands and face, not believing what an incredible feeling it is.
06:28He finally lets go, and Neo leans on him and shares the first hug in his life.
06:33While enjoying a warm hug, Neo admits that he has been sick for a year.
06:37She is very scared and is waiting for a cure, so she tells the force that they cannot be together.
06:41The force accepts this, but can't help but kiss her before leaving.
06:45The next day, Neo can't stop thinking about the force, even though she asked for a distance.
06:50The force looks around and follows her around until they are alone in the bathroom again.
06:55They are so close that they almost melt into each other as they experience the warmth of human touch.
07:00Unfortunately, the moment is interrupted when someone enters the bathroom,
07:03so the force leaves the booth alone to discover that it is his manager who is asking the force to think about self-washing.
07:09The force explains that he will consider this only when he reaches the later phase.
07:13On their departure, the manager sees that Neo's computer is turned on and discovers that it was whispered that the force is kissing Neo,
07:19so he has to stop if he doesn't want to be reported.
07:22The next day after work, Neo waits for the force in the booth, but he doesn't show up.
07:26Later, they meet on the way and talk about the manager's threat.
07:30The force announces that he will ask to move him to another job, and Neo leaves without saying anything.
07:35When he comes to his apartment, he is completely broken.
07:38The next morning, the force announces his resignation, saying that he needs to find a job
07:42where his illness will not hurt his colleagues.
07:45Soon, the force starts working in the nature reserve, and Neo has to deal with his replacement.
07:50She doesn't get along well with the situation, because she thinks of the force every time she looks at his scarf,
07:55which in the end she wears in its place.
07:57Her performance at work also begins to decline.
08:00A little later, the force meets Jonas and finally shares everything he has felt lately with Neo.
08:05Jonas immediately realizes that Neo had an affair with a woman,
08:08but unfortunately their story didn't end well.
08:11Then Jonas calls the force to a support group for people with SOS,
08:14and the force is happy to attend the meeting.
08:17People there are afraid of D.I.N. institutions, and when the force asks about it,
08:20Bess explains that half of the people who were sent there eventually only clean themselves,
08:24while the other half is forced to go through a treatment for emotional distress.
08:28Bess is a doctor who hides her SOS so that she can be there for patients in the institution.
08:33When the force returns home, Neo is stuck waiting for him.
08:36She is incredibly nervous and frustrated, so the force holds her to calm her down.
08:40This simple touch grows more and more, and they soon end up not being afraid of each other.
08:45When they finish, they are so amazed by the experience that they talk about the topic of love,
08:49and swear that they will never part again.
08:52Since then, D.I.N. behaves like strangers, but at night they reunite as lovers.
08:56They go to secret meetings and get to know each other better,
08:59share aspects of their lives, such as dinners and smoking.
09:02Neo quickly regains his composure, and her work effect improves.
09:06Sometimes, when they cross paths on the street during the day,
09:09they let go of each other's hands.
09:11One day, it seems that the group of officers is making a big announcement.
09:14The collective has found a cure for SOS, and the force and Neo agree that none of them want a cure.
09:19Then the force takes Neo to the support group so that they can share the news together.
09:24They plan to escape to the peninsula.
09:26The others try to believe that this is a bad idea,
09:29and Bess shares a story about a man who died trying, but the couple do not change their mind.
09:33Seeing their strong love, Jonas agrees to help them and prepares to escape in three days.
09:38The next day, when Nia arrives at the office, she announces an alarm, and the policeman immediately takes her away.
09:43Later, Neo meets the force with terrible news.
09:46She is called to duty for Checha.
09:48This means that Nia cannot go because she will not be allowed to enter the train.
09:53However, the force has an idea.
09:55She should go to the doctor and get tested, because when she sees that she has SOS, she will no longer be qualified.
10:00The next day at the hospital, the doctor tests Nia's blood and is shocked to discover that she is difficult.
10:05Natural difficulty is one of the worst crimes in this society.
10:08In the meantime, the force is waiting for Neo at their meeting, but she did not show up and he is worried.
10:14He went to the health center in Cervan when he discovered that she was not taken to the DIN facility.
10:19There she is detained and treated as a criminal because of what she did.
10:23Bess soon discovers that he also contacted the others there.
10:26Returning to the force, he goes to Jonas for help, and Jonas assures him that he and Bess are already working on it, so now he just has to wait.
10:33In the morning, Bess uses her medical privilege to take Neo out of her room and take her to a meeting with Jonas and the others.
10:40Bess explains that she will replace Nia's body with her wife's body, which she recently washed herself, and put a new chip in Nia's hand to give her the identity of a dead woman.
10:48After getting dressed, Nia feels better, thanks to Bess, and runs, managing to pass through the gate of the station, thanks to the new chip.
10:55Jonas' group also tries to go out and find the way, but they are blocked by the police, and instead they try to take the elevator.
11:03Unfortunately, they find the members who immediately bring them, and they are arrested.
11:07Soon, the force sees the news that Jonas' group has been arrested, so he runs to D.I.N. to ask about Nia, and the guard informs him that she is dead.
11:15Since he is not able to carry himself with a broken heart, the force goes to the roof of the company building and thinks about self-eradication.
11:22However, after a lot of spying, he withdraws.
11:25In the meantime, Nia goes to the force's apartment to wait for him, but he does not appear.
11:29In the end, they are tired of waiting and start looking for him in the prison, but he is not there.
11:34Now, knowing what else to do, she returns to the force's apartment.
11:37When night falls, the force finally returns, and Nia runs to him, but he barely reacts.
11:42Nia looks at him better and discovers that he took the medicine to cure SOS, so he only had 5 hours of emotion left.
11:48Determined to win in this, Nia tells him to fight the medicine, while she continues to push, and they still agree that they will win.
11:55In the end, they fall asleep together, hoping that the dream will keep the feeling.
12:00In the morning, Nia wakes up alone in bed.
12:02The force woke up early after the routine, so he is already well-rested and ready to go.
12:07He explains that he remembers the love they shared, but he doesn't feel it anymore.
12:11However, they still leave together because Nia will not give up.
12:14While leaving the station, Nia feels a huge distance between them and worries if they will succeed.
12:19When they rush into the train, it sits quietly as if they have returned to the beginning, and Nia's worries become even worse.
12:25However, hope slowly returns when the force extends its hand to touch her.
