All futures

All futures

By Barbara Cerro
10′ / France, Argentina / Without dialogues / Stop motion
Production : Autour de Minuit, Oniro Studio

On the planet Glasto, the night is eternal. Todos los futuros chronicles the arrival, then the evolution of humanity on this fictional planet.
Meteorites containing “terrestrial germs” start to fall; then the humans arrive, and with them, their dreams of reproducing their life on Earth. But their heritage also consists of ancestral fears and absurd rules, each meteorite that crashes creates a random chaotic situation. Improbable and aberrant behaviors then manifest themselves. Roads, tunnels and impossible geometric constructions are created… A new society emerges, revealing without detours (but always with a certain humor), our own failings and contradictions.
Todos los futuros is a short film about obligations, the smallness of our lives in the infinity of the universe, chance, primitivism, evolution and the beauty of the end of the world.
