The story
According to Reggio, the film has no screenplay per se, but three movements (like those of a symphony) with different themes: Numerica.com: Language and place gives way to numerical code and virtual reality. Circus maximus: Competition, winning, records, fame, “fair play” and the love of money are elevated to the prime values of life. Life becomes a game.
