AGAINST A FOREST FIRE
Fiction Feature
SYNOPSIS
Ulrike’s life takes a surreal turn when she discovers everyone she knows has forgotten her entirely. Desperate to reclaim her place in the world, she encounters Maurice, another “Forgotten,” and the pair form an awkward alliance to make sense of their shared plight. What begins as a clumsy attempt to infiltrate their former lives soon escalates into absurd and uncomfortable misadventures. However, their existence takes a darker turn as society’s paranoia about the “Forgotten” spirals out of control. Labeled as dangerous outsiders, the forgotten are arrested and exiled to an island prison. Here a twisted reality TV show exploits the stripped rights of these people for entertainment. Beneath the deadpan humor and absurdity, their journey explores the fear of otherness and the lengths to which humanity will go to exclude what it doesn’t understand.
