AGAINST ONE’S BETTER JUDGEMENT
Short Film
2021

The ambiguous nature of the film intends to open doors for many allegorical interpretations of the dialogue within the film's narrative. One could say a demon or perhaps a messiah tempts the human with the promise of saving the planet with omnicide, which against their better judgement, the human does not commit. A lighter interpretation could be that despite knowing that a change of behaviour could end the misery of the planet, and despite their eco-anxiety, the human does not act once again, against their better judgement they accept and submit themselves to the capitalistic nature of humanity.
