AXIOM

An intense and intellectually dizzying drama about the contemporary human condition, centered on Julius, an eloquent and charming young museum attendant loved by his friends and colleagues. However, it takes only the tiniest crack to reveal the psychological abyss that lurks beneath the surface. Axiom presents a fascinating exploration of the disquieting contradiction between the modern ideals of self-reinvention and behavioral patterns in conflict with the rules of society. In the spirit of Luigi Pirandello'σ Right You Are (if you think so), the film questions the very existence of an “identity”; in a success-driven world that values appearances over essence, or, in other words, that asks us to “fake it till you make it.”
