The Great City

"Inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche's seminal work 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra', THE GREAT CITY is a profound cinematic inquiry into the ontology of truth within the digital ruins of the modern world.

Through a minimalist and melancholic visual language, it challenges the viewer to confront the illusions of contemporary existence and the search for authentic meaning in an era of absolute spiritual void."
