DIRECTOR: Berkay Türk

COUNTRY: France

RUNTIME: '3

SYNOPSIS: Misery's music-video paints a dystopian portrait of a monitored and authoritarian society in which the characters hide their emotions and expressions behind emoticons. These masks illustrate the uniformity of this society and also serve as a parable, a symbol of the omnipotence and predominance of social networks.

However, disparities have not disappeared, but this allegory also reflects the purpose of the discourse, the denial of reality.
