Synopsis: The human-like people which does not accept diversities and seeks its annihilation. This
totalitarianism for human-like people is their way of happiness and continuation of their rotten thinking.

Director's statement: This animation, represents the authoritarian desires of humanity from the past till the
present time. The authoritarian in question is revealed through ideological, political, social moulds and etc. In this
film, humans are sentenced to assimilation with a brutal crackdown of objection. I have attempted to show that
through vanishing contradictions that lead us to a passive, boring life which itself eventually leads us to total
destruction. In this short animation, I have tried to show my respect to all the differences out there in real life.
