We are Mutants
director: Konrad Wakolbinger
original title: Wir sind die Mutanten
country: Austria
year: 2013
running time: 14 min.
synopsis
The reform of the Austrian postal service opened up the burning issue of employees who cannot be fired before retirement. The presented data forces us to think about the dangerous but socially acceptable measures taken by large companies that result in employees with nothing to do, apathy, surfing the web, and contempt for human dignity.
The working rhythm is determined by the rapid movement of the sorting equipment. Package after package. In the office on the table is an abandoned computer mouse wrapped in an electrical cord. A man takes off a postal uniform; he has one artificial leg.
