This video delves into the catastrophic environmental consequences of a world dominated by corporations that promote extensive consumption for maximum profit. In the depiction, two men engage in a playful battle using fluorescent saber lasers reminiscent of Star Wars movie. The consumption of each light source continues until the darkened room signifies the abrupt end of the game. The scene unfolds as a metaphorical landscape illustrating false promises and humanity's exertion of power over nature.
