Synopsis/Details
A man works as an assembly line worker for chips implanted in every child at birth that prevent them from seeing in color, something that society has been convinced is of immense benefit. Unbeknownst to the public, the microchips do not just limit the ability to see in color but prevent complex thought and the ability to process nuance. One day, an accident at work causes the man's chip to malfunction, and his vision and brain’s ability to process information are restored. Another person in the company finds the man and tries to convince him to get his chip repaired. The man runs and locks himself in a secret room. In the room, the man finds a video that shows the truth about the chips, and at the end of the film, the door is broken down, and the camera cuts to black.
