Overdose

Overdose

“Santa K stars in the latest dystopian short from creative duo Pleid Studio and Rebeka Arce.”

'Overdose' is the epitome of an ignorant society. It's a mixture of consumer anxiety, artificial affection, and wasted time. What is consumerism causing inside and outside of us?

Four different characters represent four forms of consumption: relationships ('Pleasure'), food ('Eat junk'), money ('Waste') and drugs ('Dope').
The story shows how each character experiences a transformation of body and mind after consumption.
The four characters are actually the same person, since all parts of our lives are influenced by consumerism.
Feel free to interpret 'Overdose' in your own way.
Is it perhaps a culture of consumerism or rather a culture of manipulation?
