An amusing example of existential desktop cinema, where the little dinosaur icon that notifies you that you have no internet connection comes to life as a video game. It takes us through a unending, stress-inducing timeline that throws obstacles in our way and gives Miguel Ariza the chance to reflect on a dizzying and seemingly unstoppable life, one that rewards intensity while longing for physical contact and stillness. Dreams and plans for a non-existent future ravaging the mind of those who run tirelessly in pursuit of an elusive goal. (RS)
