Boxed

Original title: Kastis

2012 | Feature film, Short | Director: Sander Allikmäe

Minimalistic story about power and the abuse of power. Film about the potency of power and unexpected indifference.

The suppressed life of a simple man in an authoritarian society. The subject of social control touches all of us despite one's nationality, gender or place of residence. In order the authoritarian power could exist, there must be also the ones who are weaker. Demonstrating authority on the weak excludes the possibility that other weak ones would doubt the power of the leader, not even for a moment. Power does exactly what it wants. Anyone can be the next one if disliked by the authority.
