Anne is caring for her mother and endlessly assembling ballpoint pens at home. Her monotonous everyday life is only interrupted by the constant ringing of the telephone. The wrong number again. Old conflicts break out again between mother and daughter, the distance between them seems irreconcilable. Until one day the phone rings again.

Last Year in Utopia documents an experimental set-up: a staged group media experiment, isolated from the outside world, is reconstructed on the site where the original events unfolded. The boundaries between autonomy and heteronomy dissolve in new role assignments as the film makes the power structure behind the artificially created utopia visible.

The child-duo Rico and Oskar, one of them is quite more sluggish, but precisely because of fantasy and own world view; the other one is a smart whiz, but scared for life.

A short film about a young woman trying to escape surveillance and regain her privacy in a world that is led by the “Social Score System”.
