Synopsis
Obey and you will be happy. You must, however, adapt to the System - to its laws, rules and customs – whether you like it or not. You will cease to be a free person. Your freedom will be exchanged for subordination and the rewards it brings. This documentary film is about a high-risk, experimental game that shows how quickly one can succumb to a totalitarian system. Fifty people signed up as volunteers for the game, not knowing they would have to come to terms with a totalitarian system. Fascist, communist and national-corporate totalitarian systems are all represented here.
