Oikonomia

Directed by Elora Thevenet, Octave Lauret

Oikonomia, a personification of economy, governs the dominant civilization. Their mad conquest leads them to extract water from rare and surreal oases that have been hidden in a digital matrix. Blind by the water rush, their objective is to find and steal until the last drop of water to turn it into energy. The Rebels, one with nature, have devoted their lives to saving the last remaining water and fighting Oikonomia troops who came to plunder them. Their war is waged like a digital game. Oikonomia civilization corrupts the planet with attacks that leave devastation in their wake. Deprived of water, all humankind waste away and die. The balance is broken. This struggle leads to a breakthrough, a radical shift in how our economy, society, and environment work. The Economy must invent a new, responsible dynamic to co-exist peacefully with Nature.
