Synopsis
A film filled with mystery and intrigue that never plays the same way twice. A custom, programmed computer referred to as the "Serendipity Machine" uses keywords to seamlessly select from 3,000 film clips shot in central Asia, 80 voice-overs, and 150 pieces of music to create an ethereal narrative that follows a geophysicist named Holz. The world he circulates in is a 1970s-looking metropolis called City-A whose populace is subjected to numerous unusual restrictions. Soon, it becomes evident that Holz is controlled by the factory and city where he works, just as his fate is dictated by the machine editing the film.
