TodMachine

A feature film in the silent movie convention evoking German expressionism and featuring elements of sci-fi and horror. With music specially composed for the film.

Construction of a Machine that will help the City overcome its enemy and end a long war is nearing completion. Engineers are frantically conducting the last power tests of the Machine. Fascinated by the idea that Man can create something equal to God's work, they see no risks in what they are doing. Work on the Machine consumes them completely and leaves them no time for a personal life. A mysterious monk warns the engineers that the heart of the Machine will turn against the people...
