In the future when the eviorment has collapsed and ants are our enemies, people in the cities live hoping to move north to a promised land. Only young and specially chose people go there. Elisa has been chosen to go since she hopes to see her sister again. However as she studies to go she realizes that perhaps she doesn't want to go after all. However there is no backing out.
This is an off kilter dystopian comedy science fiction film with its own sense of reality. What this world really is is never quite clear since little is explained. At time mannered in the extreme the film is something you either click with or you don't.
For me the film never clicked. I kept waiting for something to happen that would connect me to what was happening on the screen. I forever felt an outsider trying to figure out a private joke among friends.
Worth a look for the curious or those that love dystopia in films.
