Five Star Existence (2011) 12

Finland, Sweden | 2011 | 90 min.

A personal and sensitive quest to the core of the modern information society, where technology and human being get more and more entwined. It explores our society being on the verge of turning ubiquitous – a wireless society, where the laws of time, space and distance are revolutionizing the concept of liaison. Do the consequences of the technological revolution increase our freedom or do they limit us?
