YOUR FUTURE
People are always looking for an explanation why they are the way they are. Character traits that are dictated by starry constellations relieve us of the responsibility to change and grow.
The main characters of “Your Future” are the personified zodiacs. Their typical traits are put into a new context and exaggerated to the point of absurdity.
The cosmic creatures tell stories of the chaos and non-sense of being human, of the everyday life and surprises, of love and boredom, of sex and violence and everything that makes life beautiful and terrible.
