Utopic Dystopia is a dark fairy tale about an ideal utopic society slipping into a dark dystopia. The film introduces a pure and untainted population discovering a perfect, fruitful place and interacting with it. The society begins being built through cooperative motivation driven by joy as the fundamental emotion. However as the space becomes crowded and animalistic tendencies emerge, the behaviour and motivation changes. Competition rises and the once pure mortals become territorial, protective and egoistic.
