In 1988, the future: the world is governed by punk delinquent gangs, and scientists create a selective nuclear weapon to finish them off.
Picked by Felix
The scouts
A 1988 future where punk gangs run everything and scientists nuke them for it—this is the kind of premise that shouldn't work but does, because Dengrá commits to the bit with such theatrical absurdity that it loops back into genuine satire. Everyone else walks past this; Felix sprints toward it.
The film's theatrical staging and darkly comic register suggest a lineage running through Godard's genre deconstruction and contemporary political absurdism, though the execution sometimes favors spectacle over the formal rigor that would elevate it into that conversation.
There's a specific tonal choice here—treating a deliberately stupid premise with absolute deadpan conviction—that transforms what could've been a YouTube stunt into something with actual weight, and that commitment across 17 minutes is what makes the small-budget absurdism stick.
