A brainwash clinic, which knows about our most intimate secrets and which can overwrite our personal memories?
Eye transplantations organised by the state?
Centralised propaganda reaching out to all realms of life?
Are we in a parallel reality, a dystopic vision, or perhaps we are already living in a nightmare?

The crew of the most popular talkshow of the country is held hostage by two freedom-seeking  militants in order to address the population in a live broadcast against the newly emerging social regime. Áron – a clueless member of the audience – unwillingly becomes a central figure of the events. He finds himself at a clinic, where he must make a decision for life: he has to choose between becoming a proper citizen of the new regime living with new eyes (offering to see a painless reality for those who are willing to forget) , or returning to his past, more flawed life.

Áron relives the bitter experiences of his own past. His memories are recalled by the clinical staff who rewind them as a movie, and help him revise them to become Happy End stories. But what is the price he has to pay for this?

This fable of a utopia-cum-nightmare is concerned with modern brainwashing, how the media and the political world find the ‘weak points’ which allow us to be controlled, and the nature of intentional isolation – from facts, from information, from other cultures, and finally, from each other.
