neon lights

(2024)

Set in 2053, during a devastating pandemic, Neon Lights follows an elderly gravedigger employed by the Elementar Corporation.

Deeply attached to his obsolete shovel, he insists on burying his wife by hand, defying the corporation’s new high-tech burial system: the “Cube of Miracles.”

Tension escalates when a young gravedigger, armed with the futuristic device, challenges the old man’s devotion to tradition.

The film explores the clash between old and new, reflecting on humanity’s struggle with AI, automation, and the fading boundaries between man and machine.
