    • Synopsis
    • Once upon a time, in a distant land in an unspecified future, there existed a totalitarian system that imposed unrequested and non-negotiable happy lives on its population. A group of resistance fighters, including an almost centenarian ghost, has gone underground. While they await the necessary explosives to bring down this system and restore freedom for people to explore their identities and shape their own lives, they themselves grapple with the challenges that this newfound freedom brings. Profound existential questions disrupt breakfast, and missing plates exacerbate their hunger. Amid their comically complicated coexistence, a resistance against the resistance suddenly emerges. They lose and confuse themselves completely, eventually leading them to their daring attack.
