More than revisiting a natural disaster, the film questions how a community endures a real-life apocalypse that collided with its beliefs. The director investigates the invisible traces left by an EF5 tornado in a town accustomed to praying for deliverance, yet unprepared to face devastation as either a response — or a reflection — of its own contradictions. Amid physical ruins and inner turmoil, the disaster reveals what is most fragile in the human condition.

Aboard a past that never existed, a young girl crosses corroded landscapes alongside a silent robot, sifting through the wreckage of a fictional era in search of her missing brother. “The Electric State” reimagines the 1990s as an alternate future already born in decay, blending digital emotions, post-industrial loneliness, and the toxic legacy of major corporations.

Disguised as an apocalyptic satire, the film leads the viewer through a scathing portrait of a society that has normalized collapse.

Set on the front lines of World War I, the film revisits Erich Maria Remarque’s novel through an unflinchingly human lens. Rather than glorifying conflict, it exposes the psychological breakdown of young soldiers caught in a senseless spiral of violence. War is portrayed not as an epic, but as a slow erasure of identity — where the loss of innocence proves as devastating as the bombs, and as silent as the fear that shadows them.

Between technological blackouts and the collapse of mutual trust, the film challenges our ability to distinguish real threat from existential discomfort — exposing just how fragile we’ve become in the face of the unknown.
