Survivers Survivers

Mensagem do Realizador Director Statement
The idea of Survivers is surged from conversations with friends, midway between exchanging cheap philosophy and personal jokes; the realization that we have become an apathetic society, both physically and intellectually. Stretching this concept to the extreme and looking at it through a moral lense, a question comes up: a society that has thrown away its ability to do great things, would it deserve a second chance to survive? With that premise, I wanted to create a situation where humanity is given the option to press the reset button. The idea of a cataclysm survived by only three geeks (who in turn are underdogs in our current society) allowed me to set the scene for humanity to prove itself worthy of a second chance. But, and there always is a but, among the characters there is a growing impatience to remove the helmet that protections them. This decision so simplistic but crucial will answer the questions if humanity deserves a second chance.
