\nin order to procreate you need specific authorization from the central power; every citizen is equipped with cards to access any type of service; sterilization is constantly and strongly encouraged; at the age of forty-ninth it is mandatory to wear an arm band.<\/p>\n

Above all, from the dialogues between family members, the distance of thought that runs between generations and which nullifies any attempt at mutual understanding appears clear.
\nTheir son and daughter, very accomplished and dutiful, consider parents to be hopeless, irritating and irresponsible scoundrels.<\/p>\n

For Orso and Nicki, the children are overly framed and inhibited and don’t know what it means to enjoy life. A reversal of roles that appears grotesque to our eyes. Even more grotesque appears little Antonluca, grandson of the two protagonists, totally shaped by propaganda, a small bureaucrat who continually scolds his grandparents using tones and concepts that do not belong to a child.[\/vc_column_text][nectar_highlighted_text color_type=”regular” highlight_color=”#ffffff” style=”full_text”]\n

Soon the couple, even if they keep on living together in the same apartment, goes into crisis. Inside the institute everyone betrays everyone, there is a rage of sex that has prevailed over all human relationships; old men and women negotiate sexual services with young attendants cold as automatons, who are satisfied, in exchange, for a sweater or a necklace.<\/p>\n

In fact, in the new order sexual promiscuity is encouraged but technicized and disconnected from any vital or affective drive (as Huxley already predicted in The New World).<\/p>\n

Guests continually dedicate themselves to it more out of boredom than out of desire, flaunting a frenzy that is only in search of stunning.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][nectar_highlighted_text color_type=”regular” highlight_color=”#ffffff” style=”full_text”]\n

While the other guests live suspended between obedience and fatalism, the two are unwilling to accept the fate that others have decided for them and want to prepare an escape.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, marital and emotional ties are loosening, also in anticipation of future, painful separations.<\/p>\n

Even Orso, although initially reluctant to cheat on his wife, indulges in a relationship with a young village worker, Ortensia, addressed in his choice by Bertani.

Unfortunately, despite this effort, Nicki ends up among the winners and is forced to embark. In a harrowing scene on the pier the two, aware that they will never see each other again, greet each other with a last kiss, confessing their love.<\/p>\n

Orso, overwhelmed by grief and resigned not to flee anymore and to wait his turn for the cruise, will also die. But in a sensational and unexpected way, to create a diversion that allows Bertani and another guest to escape.

Welcome to the new normality<\/h2>\n

Today we understand why such films have been ignored, crushed by critics, or soon ended up in oblivion, rather than being screened and discussed in schools.<\/p>\n

Otherwise, we wouldn’t live now a historical moment in which the majority of people live as guests of the village, obedient and resigned or perhaps victims of the illusion that the cruise called the Great Reset is a promised land rather than a slaughterhouse.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line”][vc_column_text]\n
