A dystopian opera film about greed and the downfall of humanity. Off the remote island of Minami-Torishima, deep in the Pacific Ocean, lie rare and essential metals critical for producing all forms of electronics. Humanity cannot resist--it must have them. Actress Gaite Jansen brings to life a mermaid on the brink of death, half-human, half-beast. She condemns humanity, entangled in unraveling magnetic tape--a metaphor for beauty, transience, and history, yet in material form, the very ruin of this planet. A hallucinatory film that culminates in the final sounds of mankind: the last heartbeat from the depths, a final, icy scream. What is remembered, and what is forgotten? Audience quote: "It's incredibly interesting, emotional, captivating, and contemporary, very much in tune with the spirit of the times".
