This film is a collaborative work generated using multiple AI tools,
depicting the protagonist’s unsettling discoveries on her first day at a new company. The workplace exudes the mystique and solemnity of a religious sanctuary while maintaining the order and oppression of a corporate office. The employees move and speak in eerie unison, as if participating in a silent yet sacred workplace mass. The protagonist, bewildered and full of questions, begins her work—only to find that no matter how hard she tries, the progress bar remains frozen. By this point, an overwhelming sense of suffocation has filled her workstation...
In this space, language has nearly vanished, and the boundary
between the sacred and the mechanical blurs. The film persistently
raises questions to the viewer: Are we undergoing some form of
‘modern ritual’? As societal rhythms accelerate, has the progress bar become a measure of psychological tempo? Are we, without realizing it, participating in a new kind of faith?
