The film is set in the near future, in a world of perfect capitalism. Society is sustained by a class of top achievers; meanwhile, so-called minimum recipients live under sedation in Fortresses of Sleep. The great majority of top achievers view themselves as happy. An outsourced agency has been established for the rest: Life Guidance is charged with turning these individuals into optimal people as well. Alexander has internalized the system but one wrong word to his child triggers Life Guidance. He starts to rebel and encounters the horror of the system in all its brightness and affability.

A movie of such dizzy making ineptness, such profound incapacity, of such frank idiocy, such directorial inability as to make one wonder how such a disaster could have ever been released. Insulting to actors and audience alike. Just ghastly, with a double effect, since the fact that this utter piece of nonsense could be made, is all the more alarming since it means something else like this could be produced, too. Not dreary so much as keenly alarming.
