Sorry for the Inconvenience

A waste picker, a supermarket cashier and a cleaning lady are imprisoned in a psychiatric center for the same reason: they were accused of creating other worlds instead of accepting the world imposed to them. During their confinement, however, these three figures provoque drastic changes in the machinery of the powerful industry that is making them crazy and hostage to a lot of medication. Sorry For the Inconvenience is an investigation on the need and importance of creating other worlds inside the oppressive reality we’re forced to consider as normal.
