THE MODERN PROJECT had it´s world premiere at Moscow International Film Festival in 2016. We are proud to present this poetic comedy about the search for a deeper mening in life.
A group of young people isolated in an old house in the countryside are searching for a cure against today’s hyper individualism. Sara and Simon initiated the retreat together but as Simon starts acting more and more as a cult leader they both lose control over the group. The Modern Project is a comic poetic drama about ego vs ideal and mankind’s urge to find the meaning of life.
