The Bottom Line

DREAMS, ROBOTS AND REVOLUTION COLLIDE WHEN A CRANE OPERATOR'S CO-WORKERS GET PAID TO BE OBSOLETE.
In the glittering solarpunk metropolis of Toronto 2045, astral projecting crane operator Auden Black clings to a world increasingly dominated by machines. As robot aloos replace his fellow workers and friends are bottom lined, paid to be replaced, Auden's crane becomes both refuge and watchtower. Witness a future where ad-projecting systems blur reality, virtual lives offer escape from unemployment, and the human spirit is tested against the relentless march of progress.
Through Auden's eyes, experience life suspended between techno-optimistic utopia and dystopian horror at losing one's purpose, where every sunrise brings new challenges to what it means to be human in an automated age.
