Jack has just come back to his homeland of Australia after over a decade away in paradise. But after being met at the airport by his brother Frank, Jack discovers that the country has radically changed. Citizens report and fine one another for various civil infractions, using their mobile phones to record and upload offenses to a government app.
Jack is in disbelief as he arrives at Frank's home with his wife Margaret, and he can't even believe that swearing is fined and alcohol is banned. There are cameras everywhere, and the only safe place in people's homes is the bathroom. Unable to adapt or accept the changes, Jack attempts to leave the country -- a much harder feat to accomplish than he thought.
Written and directed by Kosta Nikas, this sci-fi short may be named after an ideal paradise of balance and peace, but its title is deeply satirical in how the film portrays the absurdity of the new surveillance state. It constructs a fascinating world that seems only a few steps removed from our phone-saturated society, telling its cautionary tale in an ironically jaunty way.
The writing takes time in its world-building, which is often one of the pleasures of the sci-fi genre. The narrative action at the beginning catalogs the myriad ways that control and order are exerted over people, and there's dour, wry humor embedded in how Frank escorts his increasingly skeptical brother through this brave new world. The bright sunniness of the cinematography and the percolating, cheerful musical score that peppers itself throughout the film also add touches of stylish buoyancy to what is an increasingly dark story.
The aesthetic approach offers a counterpoint to the often horrifying reality shown on screen, in which citizens are incentivized to document one another's offenses through their omnipresent phones. Jack is a stand-in for the audience, looking increasingly askance at how even the most intimate recesses of everyday life can't escape the pitiless lens of a camera and the desperate people wielding them.
It takes some time for the dramatic conflict to emerge, but the world-building is fascinating enough to carry interest through, and is substantial and detailed enough to power an entire series or feature. By the time Jack finally decides that he must escape, the building blocks of the world and story have been carefully laid into place, forming a chain of obstacles that make it harder for him to leave. He seems trapped indefinitely, but then he gets an unexpected chance -- though one that comes at considerable cost.
That cost, however, doesn't seem so bad by the time we conclude UTOPIA, which we realize is anything but. Its sense of horror derives not from perversity or violence, but from how the world that the film constructs is only a few clicks from our current reality.
Practically everyone has a smartphone, and the devices are deeply integrated with almost all aspects of our lives, from banking to romance to communication to entertainment. At many levels, we're still reckoning with how mobile technology is transforming our lives and our relationships. A population armed with phones -- and imbued with increasingly knee-jerk punitiveness towards fellow humans -- seems ludicrous, but with deeper reflection, viewers realize those pieces are already in place in other aspects of our culture. Are human beings so weak that they could be weaponized to do a government's surveillance for them? UTOPIA imagines that day isn't as far as one would think.
I love the woman who played Margaret, she played the part so well, I could see real pity in her eyes, mixed with pain and frustration when she realizes she can't let Jack just get trapped like they did. Amazing.

This is not just a short film; it's a warning.
The parasites will use it as a blueprint, sadly.
theres been loads of warnings and predictions in many tv shows and movies over the years , look at the twilight zone old episodes, for example , even the world trade centre has been hinted on tv in many shows and movies , theres even a clip in an old 80s children series called chocky . it shows a painting of the twin towers . It's a childrens series , but i didnt get it when i was a kid , ive watched the episodes here on RUclips again and now I fully understand it , you should check it out.
Exactly...
I agree. People are already sleepwalking towards " UTOPIA." We already have a cashless society, and then there's the congestion charge and ULEZ, our smartphones monitor everything we do with them smartphones can also track where we go and where we are through Google maps ect ect. And not forgetting, of course, CCTV cameras are everywhere you go.
But as a whole, ppl are just too clued out to take the warning!

@@Bopperann Leaving aside the political debate about inequality for a moment::
Starvation is starvation, whether it is self induced or not as it means the lack of nourishment.

If you wish to conduct a discussion about the result of starvation; that is the political and ideological rationalizations, that is another matter entirely.

“Artists were supposed to turn a mirror on society, but instead they turned the mirror on themselves.”
Most powerful statement I’ve heard in a while.
That's the way I feel things are, quite a good way they worded it.
The creator of this content is turning the mirror on society. It's resistance , but the youth is always the decider of what will happen next. Frank said he is old so he gave up . Jack run away cause he realised even the young girl has been brainwashed to fined him. Not to help him. There is no mercy , so he knew that this society is hell.
I love the symbolism in this movie. Especially when it focuses on a problem we are having but not aware of that much . Hypnotised by reality . This work has illustrated the problem beatifully.

We are living that full length movie now. There are so many things already in place and coming down the pipe now that put us about 70% of the way to this. The more “advanced” a country is the quicker this will happen.

In communist Romania the Secret Police relied heavily on informants. There were lots and lots of people snitching on each other just for the fun of it. It got to a point where people were afraid to tell jokes or complain in any way, they would have been taken away and beaten.
Now here comes the messed up part. Some people were forced to become informant. And even to this day it's impossible to tell who was informing because it was forced and who did willingly. When turns out that some hotshot politician was an informant he can always say he was forced to.
Everybody is innocent....all the time.

In Australia we already have private contractors getting paid a commission for catching drivers breaking the speed limit. So as for this movie's "government app that pays you 10% commission to snap another citizen committing an infringement", the precedent is already in place.
Wtf
@@ZuignapWorse than that, if you drive past one of these cars parked beside the road it WILL take your picture no matter what. It then decides if you're doing anything wrong, but your picture is taken and stored (at least for a while). Another bad precedent.
This an Australian film and what is so chilling about it is that it's so believable, even looks so natural in this setting. Yet I am old enough to remember a time past when Aussies prided themselves on living in a relaxed, laid-back, free society. This sort of tyrannical control was the stuff of faraway places we didn't need to worry about. Yet here we are, well on our way toward the society depicted here and the sad thing is, like the old lady and the young girl in the park, everyday Aussies are either oblivious to it or only too happy to do their bit in helping to bring it about. Whatever happened to us?

The beach part freaks me out. They would tel us last year in California we couldn’t sit on the beach. My son just wanted to play in the sand he was 1. The lifeguards drove up and down the beach telling people to leave and everyone listened. Keep in mind there were maybe 10 people across this massive beach no where near each other. It felt so violating being told I could stand next to my son but couldn’t sit while he played in the sand. This movie could definitely become a reality one day
Same thing happened here in Italy during lockdown. A man was walking on the beach on his own, there was nobody in about 10 km, he got arrested by 4 police cars
@@francoiseofficial1861 freaky not a fan of that. I was scared to be arrested and my son left without a caretaker :( that’s a shame they couldn’t give him a warning or better yet piss off
Girl eff you and your son. Rules are rules. No one cares if you decided to take your child somewhere you weren’t allowed. This is not the oppression olympics.
Is that because coronavirus?
@@user24233 It is because of Covid, yes. It's a complex topic, on one hand they were not doing anything bad per se, on the other hand they were breaking a rule most people were respecting. Yeah, no one on the beach so no risk of spreading the virus, but no one was on the beach because they were following the rules.

That is the most selfish sentence I've ever read. Will you do nothing? Do you expect to just, vanish when you die?
@Second Chance there's the possibility of extracting your consciousness and plugging it into a machine. Perhaps your consciousness's power could be used to mine algorithms and feed the machine. Or be plugged into a killing robot with no free will. And we're not far from a possible reality like that. Look at neuralink

There are two types of people, those that think that you die and that's it, and those do not. Too much evidence is available to prove that the latter, are correct. But then, who reads these days?
Do not give up, there's more to life than being in a body that ages ☺
Brilliantly expressed! 👌🏼
It is definitely a good representation of where we're headed if we don't wake up and deal with life instead of always choosing to be a bystander
being woke is such a bad thing tho...they want you asleep
All in the name " safety " !
Where we headed? People in Australia were sent to a prison, or something like that if they weren`t vacinated or if they were speaking against Covid thirany. People in China couldn`t leave their cities, during lockdowns. It is happening, now, all over the world. 1984. was nothing, compared to the life we are living.
Way too real, way too fast, right as I'm going to bed.
Nightmares ahoy.
This is heavy... This is so fitting at this time in history. What an extraordinary short film!
God bless you guys for creating this production. It's so prophetic.
Keep the faith.
THANK YOU for this short film, as it really shows the direction we are headed in, and in some places it already is just like this, and the ones unaware, thus is an eye opener to what is literally around the corner

E daí? Margaret não terá problemas.
03:32
Caminhamos ... - Não acredito! Você fica a uma hora de distância, Frank.
03:37
Afinal, quem multou você? Não vi nenhum policial em lugar nenhum.
03:42
Não há mais policiais. Qualquer um pode multar você.
03:47
... finalmente muita coisa mudou.
03:51
Não que nós entendêssemos isso.

- Margaret. -Frank, você viu meu cartão de crédito?
04:00
- Você o deixou no meu carro. -Bom muito bom ...

Existe alguma coisa pela qual você não foi multado?
07:12
Deixe-me pensar sobre isso ...
07:21

07:24
Como funciona?
07:26
Existe um aplicativo governamental no celular
07:29
Você grava a violação com a câmera
07:33
e o estado o recompensa com uma comissão de 10% sobre qualquer multa.
07:41

-Fale com ele, Frank. - O que ele pode me dizer?
08:28

08:30
Por que?
08:32
$ 2.000 em multas de Jack?
08:35
Que diabos você está pensando?
08:36
E a multa é cobrada de nós porque é a nossa casa.
08:39
- Vou devolver o valor para vocês. - Não se trata apenas de dinheiro.

08:45

08:49
sem empréstimos, sem direito a transporte, nada!

08:56
Não posso mais, Jack.
08:59
E nós odiamos isso.
09:01
Então por que não ir para o exterior?
09:03
-Isso é proibido! -Por que?
09:06
Temos uma hipoteca da nossa casa!
09:09

Are Uyghurs Chinese women in their early 40s who pursue men in their late 20s?

This short is absolutely brilliant.
The actors are AMAZING, such great performances from everyone
Damn...this was literally THE BEST short I have ever seen and the scariest if you ask me because people think it would be better with no police but we as individuals can be FAR FAR more viscious than the majority of police officers could ever be. And that is a FACT!!
Kind of makes me think about a parent-child relationship where the "government" here is the "child" - where the kids can watch their parents do things and tattle, but a parent can get some reprieve in a bathroom (or hanging out at bars with adults only) and be their shittier selves :P
Yes!

No it is not, and hasn't been for some time. I have been to countries that have had theses foundations in place for over a decade. It starts small, just like in this film. For example, in one place, if you are issued a traffic ticket, you are notified by SMS. If you don't pay on time, your bank account is frozen, your mobile phone and internet services are cut, and your resident ID number is flagged, making it impossible to leave the country. That was fully in place by 2010.

You hear stories of people going to jail on purpose all the time. Free food, shelter and healthcare
But jail you didn’t have the bracelet? And it looked like wine? Why didn’t they warn the guy?
The last scene was absolutely terrifying. In 'prison', they are given more freedom because those who get sent there are those most likely to rebel; by giving them more than what they had before, they feel like they've already won, and so they won't continue to fight. They go from hating to loving Big Brother.
Not. They are just left alone in there..no one reporting or spying on them. They are more free than they could ever be out on the outside..where EVERY ONE has given up fighting back. They realized rebellion is pointless if you're doing so all alone.
Or they’re outside of the prison wall, bracelet-free..
I loved how 3 persons were each the main characters at some point. Very interesting short film!
The whole citizens fining each other for their own benefit and escaping off to a room in their house where they can't be monitored is reminiscent of a lot of dystopian media but this in particular reminding me of the Webtoon comic "Everything is Fine"... with less cats of course.
