When every global citizen is required to have their CO2 emissions tracked, it makes little impact…that is, until they discover the consequences of reaching their designated QUOTA.
Hilarious and darkly devastating—what’s not to love! This film poses a deceptively simple question: What would you do if you were given an energy quota? Would you conserve, deny, or just hope for the best? With sharp animation and pitch-black humor, it asks why, when the pressure’s on, some people will do anything to make it stop—except change the behavior causing it. In just two and a half minutes, it packs more insight, style, and tension than films four times its length. Blink and you’ll miss it, but it’s guaranteed to stick with you.
