The Ones Who Left on Luges ()

Overview

Critiquing the state’s dominance as the only issuer of currency, a kind of NGO called ‘The Ones Who Left On Luges’ proposes a way to create a new currency for those who labor in the world of the film, day in and day out. Persuaded by these whispers (albeit moved by different reasons), individuals go on to participate in surveys, get on luges, and find themselves in a bubble receiving company coin — only to then hibernate for some 60 years. Upon waking, they face a choice they must make all on their own: whether to stay in the bubble, clutching the 987,654,321 coins they’ve amassed while asleep, or return to the state to become a free human being.
