SEKILALA-uncovered family
One of the main elements in the film is our progression as a society past the information age. The core narrative depicts a family bound by an advanced virtual reality. As the main character, the father is experiencing a desire to revert back to human / live interactions even though he does not recognize this yearning. After encountering living furniture he is prompted to search for tangible interaction whereby the story then dissolves into a chaotic tragicomedy.
