Full voice-over script:
How have our connections changed over time?
How has the meaning changed?
But above all, what is this new connection for?
To have more time?
Time.
Once, we were connected with family, with friends, with lovers,
with our emotions and sensations.
Now, we are connected to a network and, like all nets, it traps.
We make friends through the net.
We argue through the net.
We fall in love through the net.
Friends, friends — how many?
One, no one, and one hundred thousand.
And we — who are we?
In how many different ways do we reveal ourselves?
How many faces do we wear online?
One, no one, and one hundred thousand.
Ghost among ghosts.
Faces perpetually lit by a screen.
Let us free ourselves from the net.
Let us connect with the vastness of nature —
it will be easier to connect with ourselves and with others.
Let us connect with nature
and remember: we are part of it too.
