Zeros and Ones

Nov 18, 2021
Rome, au temps d’une pandémie. Les rues sont désertées par les habitants et seuls circulent des véhicules militaires pilotés par des hommes masqués chargés de faire respecter le lockdown. Grâce aux moyens de surveillance modernes - drones, caméras, téléphones - la ville décatie est scrutée en coulisse par des organisations antagonistes (soldats, terroristes, fractions révolutionnaires). Dans une atmosphère de fin du monde, un soldat américain, J.J., recherche son frère jumeau, Justin, devenu un loup solitaire suspecté de préparer des attentats, notamment contre le Vatican. Une chasse à l’homme s’engage sur fond de cette double menace bactériologique et numérique.
