In an undefined future, sun rays have become so lethal that human societies are active only during nighttime, as daylight is deemed forbidden. A gigantic corporation, called “The Whites,” has seized absolute power, owning the monopoly of past images, destined for the privileged. “The Blacks,” a guerilla group, question their omnipotence, fighting (almost literally) for a place in the sun. A gritty low-budget dystopia, set against a drab industrial backdrop that utters a cry of despair for Earth’s plundering.
