LOTTERY – A dystopian satire set in one room
«If you had to eliminate one third of humanity, what would you do?»
Logline
In a collapsing near future caused by dwindling resources and human ignorance, twelve strangers must unanimously decide within twelve hours which third of humanity dies – or a global lottery will do it for them, for the greater good, of course.
LOTTERY is an emotional rollercoaster ride into human abysses, fears and hopes – naturally in English, with a diverse cast in gender and ethnicity, a crippled AI as comic relief and an unexpected ending…!
