The Bureau

2020 · 25 min

A cold, quietly suffocating bureaucratic nightmare that makes everyday administration feel like a slow, intimate act of violence.

Overview
In a future dystopia, administration is left to AI. Following a recalculation of his family budget, Jules has to separate from one of his children. To challenge this decision, he will have to go to the Bureau, the administrative management center.
