VORTEX the dawn of sovereignty
2047. Every human being is identified, traced and large surveillance and censorship networks have been developed. A few freethinkers have created an encrypted network of alternative research and information, making it harder for law enforcement to track down.
Among them, Serena, a teenage girl is secretly developing glasses to reveal vortices, doorways to other dimensions. What will this opening to the unknown unveil?
Michel Rousseau signs his first feature Science Fiction film, meant for an Awakening, taking on many hats including those of screenwriter, director, special effects, music etc ... Four years were required to achieve this unique concept that offers new thinking approaches to our Human experience and our future.

MICHEL ROUSSEAU (Meaux, FRANCE, 1975) made a first short movie « Les gardiens de la Matrice » in 2016. He decided in 2017 to start a feature film « Vortex, the dawn of sovereignty ». Four years later, in 2021, he signed this first feature Science Fiction film, meant for an Awakening, taking on many hats including those of screenwriter, director, special effects, animation, music etc ...
Vortex the dawn of sovereignty is above all a spiritual film inspired by Matrix, Black Mirror, Truman show. Four years were required to achieve this unique concept : built to be seen several times, it is an initiatory journey in several stages for the spectators. So the first time you see it you will understand a general pattern and the second time the doors will open in front of you. You will understand the rise of Serena, all the details, winks, hints in dialogues, all the planed actions of Serena's doubles to contribute to her awakening in the scenario of the film in which she plays.
