Film Description: "Chains is a short film that takes place in a dystopian future where the poor are forced to live underground with no natural light and scarce water. Chain is starved for beauty in her desolate underground community of scavengers. She appears to commit the crime of growing a flower by using scarce water. Munk, a religious zealot oversees the bizarre roulette type death punishment this act of defiance brings. Chain's lover breathes in this world's only flower as he stands beside her ready to take a bullet for her. The gun is loaded and the trigger is squeezed..." -- Studio Anansi (source) |
