Dance is the true path to freedom. In a futuristic dystopian world, humankind lives connected to a collective conscience called AETHER.
Mary and M20, a scientist and an insurgent outcast, will join forces to try to break the rules
in a world where freedom and free will seem to have disappeared for good.

00:00:00as technology became smaller and smarter mankind became more and more connected to
00:00:17their devices and less to other human beings seeing into the problem of this phenomenon
00:00:25we discovered a solution the universal connection to ether the world has been propelled forward into
00:00:34a new era a peaceful society almost flawless
00:00:55so
00:01:25All those thoughts and images occurring near your sleep are messing with your emotions.
00:01:33I know it's not easy, but I need you to tell me so I can do what I do.
00:01:38It's always the same dream.
00:01:41We are on the beach.
00:01:45And she wants to go back in the water.
00:01:49Launch the wheel of either?
00:01:51I give in.
00:01:54She dashes up into the waves.
00:02:01But then the sky became black every day.
00:02:06Either mute her.
00:02:08An unexpected death in her circle of acquaintances.
00:02:11A child.
00:02:13We're going to return her feelings below the zone of conflict.
00:02:16Either and mute her.
00:02:19Please help me.
00:02:22It's kidding me.
00:02:25I can't go on like that.
00:02:28And you won't.
00:02:29Just breathe.
00:02:30It's almost over.
00:02:31I hate myself.
00:02:32How do you feel now?
00:02:43Great.
00:02:46That's what we do.
00:02:47The ether clinic congratulates you on your regulation.
00:02:56Oh.
00:02:57Okay.
00:02:58A connected life is a balanced life.

00:06:08High stress levels detected.
00:06:12Seek immediate research center attention.
00:06:19Arriving at your destination in 20 seconds.
00:06:35Hello, Mary.
00:06:40Glad you came so quick.
00:06:41I'm Dr. Harlow.
00:06:42This is Dr. Monroe.
00:06:44Welcome to the research center.
00:06:45Please take a seat.
00:06:50We did some looking around on your profile after one of the alarms of control in Nether went off.
00:06:57The research we conduct here is of strategic importance for either and for the smooth operation of the cloud.
00:07:03To that end, Nyos Firewall would prevent you from accessing your memories of our work here when you're outside these walls.
00:07:09What work?
00:07:10What are you saying specifically?
00:07:11Naturally, you're conscious that any offending attitude in our agreement would cause irreparable intellectual damages.
00:07:17Just relax.
00:07:18Just relax.
00:07:19It's going to be okay as long as you trust us.
00:07:22You can trust either.
00:07:33Perfect.
00:07:34During universal connection protocols, we have detected very rare cases of individuals whose bodies physically rejected the connection.
00:07:43Non-connected people.
00:07:45Like before.
00:07:46Exactly.
00:07:47For reasons that we have not yet been able to clarify, they are incompatible with the system.
00:07:52And we have tried for years to help them.
00:07:55That's impossible.
00:07:57We'll show you.
00:08:13Let me introduce you to test subject M-20.
00:08:20Unknown subject.
00:08:22High stress levels detected.
00:08:24He has not said one word since he arrived here.
00:08:33How long has this been going on?
00:08:3516 years?
00:08:43Does it have to be a good sign?
00:08:44If you're a good sign?
00:08:45I'm not sure.
00:08:46I'm not sure.
00:08:47You're going to edit your case.
00:08:48That's the thing.
00:08:49What's the sign?
00:08:50The sign?
00:08:51What about the sign?
00:08:52I don't know why they're blind.
00:08:53I'm scared for 50 years.
00:08:54I don't know why they might
00:09:08This is evil.
00:09:27It feels like that at the beginning.
00:09:30Then you get used to it.
00:09:33Universal connection has allowed us to free ourselves
00:09:36from the animal instincts which had pushed the human being
00:09:38to commit the worst atrocities.
00:09:45Violence and conflict were all that we understand.
00:09:48From this point of view,
00:09:50he's one of the last vestiges of the ancient world.
00:09:52You seem to come closer to him in one night
00:09:54than we have been able in two decades of research.
00:09:57This is the reason why the system chose you
00:10:08to collaborate with us.
00:10:09What do you want from me?
00:10:22Mary, help us to connect him.
00:10:26To save him.
00:10:27Did you know that there are some Native American tribes,
00:10:48Navajo in particular,
00:10:50that actually celebrate when people die?
00:10:52They don't get sad, you know?
00:10:54They actually have a little party
00:10:56and they believe that people are going to a better place.
00:10:59So they celebrate that.
00:11:01Kind of cool, huh?
00:11:03Yeah.
00:11:04Okay, time for bed.
00:11:05Oh, yes, I know, but you have school tomorrow.
00:11:09Okay, good night, baby.
00:11:11No, that's right.
00:11:32I don't know.
00:12:02I don't know.
00:12:32I don't know.
00:13:02Shit, I'm late.
00:13:16The skull was bigger on the back.
00:13:33And the door was smaller.
00:13:34Like this?
00:13:39Exactly.
00:13:42That's just like in my nightmare.
00:13:46Great.
00:13:47Let's go.
00:13:50The nano-connection liquid never worked on him before.
00:14:00We were always stranded outside of his consciousness.
00:14:06And we couldn't find a way in.
00:14:11Until you.
00:14:16We expect you to reproduce exactly the circumstances which allowed you to connect to M20.
00:14:27Like you did in your dreams.
00:14:31The rest is up to us.
00:14:33Ready?
00:14:34Ready?
00:14:35Wait.
00:14:36Let's go.
00:14:40I don't know.
00:15:10I don't know.
00:15:40I don't know.
00:15:41I don't know.
00:15:42I don't know.
00:15:43I don't know.
00:15:44Don't worry.
00:15:45I don't know.
00:15:46I don't know.
00:15:47I don't know.
00:15:48I don't know.

00:16:15Configuration of connection number 1617, test subject.
00:16:45M20.
00:17:15Episode 1717, test subject.
00:17:45Oh, my God.
00:18:15Oh, my God.
00:18:45Oh, my God.
00:19:15Oh, my God.
00:19:45Oh, my God.
00:19:51She's there.
00:19:52You're sure?
00:19:53He's capable of interfering with our internal connection.
00:20:15Eighty-nine.
00:20:18Did you see it?
00:20:22I haven't had an 89 for years.
00:20:25So let's make moves.
00:20:27Um, thank you.
00:20:29But I'm afraid I'm not ready for something quite so incredible.
00:20:32I only date nighties or above.
00:20:35Have a nice night.
00:20:36So, tell me everything.
00:20:48What would you say if I told you that all of our work regulating people is based on an incomplete postulate?
00:20:58That I'm never disappointed every time we meet for a drink.
00:21:01John, I haven't had a drink, and I'm completely serious.
00:21:03Look, since the universal connection is live, all the information which exists for one individual exists in the base of datum for all the others.
00:21:10It's a rule.
00:21:11Nothing can go wrong.
00:21:13According to the center.
00:21:15And you work for them?
00:21:16Only for the past few days, but what I'm discovering exceeds all you can imagine.
00:21:20There are non-connected, John.
00:21:22People who are incompatible with our connection to either.
00:21:26And the center has recruited me to help them, but I don't even know where to begin.
00:21:29There's so much.
00:21:32Mary?
00:21:34Mary, you okay?
00:21:36Yeah, I'm fine.
00:21:37And initially I was able to establish a contact with one of them during a sleep phase.
00:21:41Wait, wait.
00:21:42A contact?
00:21:43And then we reproduced the experiment today.
00:21:45And we managed to find a bridge to him.
00:21:47A purely spiritual connection.
00:21:49You do realize the implications of all this?
00:21:52We're about to cross the ultimate boundary.
00:21:55Show me what he looks like.
00:22:00Mary.
00:22:11Don?
00:22:15John, are you okay?
00:22:21John, are you okay?
00:22:21No.
00:22:22Didn't even know what he looks like.
00:22:41Are you okay?
00:22:41No.
00:22:41Jesus.
00:22:42Oh, God.
00:22:42Petro.
00:22:43No.
00:22:44So.
00:22:44Let's go.
00:23:14She's only been there for three minutes and 14 seconds.
00:23:30We've never gone that far before.
00:23:31What do we do now?
00:23:33Put her through a regulation. Now!
00:23:44Let's go.
00:23:49Connect yourself and get an instant access to anything you can dream of.
00:23:53Live longer. Live smarter. Live connected.
00:23:58Still wondering why?
00:23:59Because I'll never have to deal with cancer again.
00:24:02Because I want to share everything with the people I love.
00:24:05Because I'm always connected to my family.
00:24:07Ether. Just be a better version of yourself.
00:24:27Hi there. What's your name, buddy?
00:24:30I'll never have to deal with the people I love.
00:25:00What's going on?
00:25:17What is life?
00:25:44What is life?
00:25:54My innocence.
00:25:56My light.
00:26:00My darkness.
00:26:04My will.
00:26:06My life.
00:26:12I know you're there.
00:26:15I know you're watching me.
00:26:18My rage.
00:26:23They control without.
00:26:27I control within.
00:26:29Every day they fail to force a connection.
00:26:39Every day they fail to force a connection.
00:26:39Every day they fail to force a connection.
00:26:44In this cage, I am oppressed.
00:26:51In this cage, I rage.
00:26:55Every day they fall
00:26:59Every attempt makes me weaker
00:27:03Every attempt could be the last
00:27:08My last
00:27:15I will myself to express
00:27:18I will myself free
00:27:24You will never get inside my head
00:27:54You will never get inside my head
00:28:40And they believe that people are going to a better place.
00:29:05Okay, time for bed.
00:29:10Good night, baby.
00:29:40Good night, baby.
00:30:10Good night, baby.
00:30:40I can fight, Ardun.
00:30:51We fight!
00:31:10My mind transcends technology, it's boundless.
00:31:21My spirit remains youthful, buoyant.
00:31:26My soul is free.
00:31:32You will never get inside my head, never, never surrender, move.
00:31:52Yes there is innocence and light here, but there is also darkness, the rage.
00:31:59I will not be broken, I will not be broken, I will not be broken.
00:32:15I will not allow doubt to infect my mind.
00:32:29What happened?
00:32:39We had to trigger a rebrain.
00:32:42You'll need a little time to adjust.
00:32:44A deep regulation?
00:32:46Why?
00:32:47It's for your own safety.
00:32:51In time we will find a better solution.
00:32:55But I feel good now, you can reactivate my arms.
00:33:01And my legs, please.
00:33:03The wheel of either doesn't quite work on you right now.
00:33:05You're nearly unconnected, that's too dangerous.
00:33:07That's crazy, relax.
00:33:09I'm fine, I just want to get the fuck out of here, right now.
00:33:12We can't let you go.
00:33:13We need to understand.
00:33:14Fuck you!
00:33:15I want to go back up, I can't wait to hear this out.
00:33:18You just can't.
00:33:19Remember, what happens in the center stays in the center.
00:33:22Once outside, you won't remember a thing.
00:33:24You son of a bitch, you can't do that, let me-
00:33:27Mute confirmed.
00:33:29Look, the pineal glands, high activity, both in sync.
00:33:42The ancients thought that this was the seed of the soul.
00:33:47In his case, it's above all an episode of psychosis.
00:33:50But that abnormal activity could be what prevents his connection and weakens hers.
00:33:58Let's try to alter their perception of reality.
00:34:03Psychotropics?
00:34:16Have a nice trip, my friend.
00:34:28I'm sorry.
00:34:29Do you have to travel, I'm sorry?
00:34:30I can't help, I'm sorry.
00:34:31I can't help, I'm sorry.
00:34:32Do you know what you're doing?
00:34:33I can't help, but it's like it's there.
00:34:34I can't help.
00:34:35Yeah.
00:34:36Yeah.
00:34:37Yeah.
00:34:38It's like, you know, we're in the middle.
00:34:39I can't help, I can't help.
00:34:40I can't help.
00:34:41I can't help.
00:34:42I can't help, but I can't help.
00:34:43You can't have a great idea, I can't help.
00:34:45Here is the thing.
00:34:46What is the thing?
00:34:47What is the problem?
00:34:48T demanding?
00:34:49I don't know.
00:35:19I don't know.
00:35:49I don't know.
00:36:19I don't know.

00:39:48I don't know.
00:39:49I don't know.
00:39:50I don't know.
00:39:52Stop the experiment.
00:39:54Now.
00:39:56Baby, please go get me the fast-acting medicine, okay?
00:40:02Baby, please go get me the fast-acting medicine, okay?
00:40:14Okay?
00:40:18Okay?
00:40:20I don't know.
00:40:22I don't know.
00:40:24I don't know.
00:40:26I don't know.
00:40:30I don't know.
00:40:32Now, I'm going to be the best-acting mommy.
00:40:36I don't know.
00:40:38I don't know.
00:41:08I don't know.

00:43:10I don't know.
00:43:40I don't know.
00:44:10I don't know.
00:44:40And your theories are becoming worthless.
00:44:42I don't know.
00:45:12I don't know.
00:45:42They have their own connection.
00:45:47I don't know.
00:46:17They're trying to save her.
00:46:29They're trying to save her.
00:46:31I don't know.
00:46:33I don't know.
00:47:01I don't know.
00:47:03I don't know.

00:47:15I don't know.
00:47:19I don't know.
00:47:29I don't know.
00:47:31I don't know.
00:47:33Initiating incineration protocol.
00:48:03They didn't come to save her, they came to set her free.
00:48:26Death and disease are part of the cycle.
00:48:28No, I celebrate life and its preservation.
00:48:30Ether is going to help them.
00:48:31Ether is profoundly unnatural.
00:48:33If I lost my wife through cancer, do you not think I would have done absolutely anything
00:48:37to prevent it?
00:48:38It's not up to us.
00:48:39To save her?
00:48:40As you can see, the debate has livened up quite a bit since the World Institute of Cancer
00:48:44Research has just announced a 100% cure rate for all types of cancer.
00:48:49We are for the first time in the history of humankind overcoming this disease for good
00:48:55and being propelled forwards into a new era.
00:49:01We are in the history of the case of the U.S.
00:49:10in the history of the U.S.
00:49:43Do you want to try to synchronize?
00:49:54Yes.
00:49:56I think that their connection is a form of consciousness, or collective unconscious, and that they developed a way of joining him.
00:50:04The thing is, he has to accept me, welcome me. Otherwise, I shall never cross over.
00:50:16His spirit is much more powerful than mine.
00:50:18You overestimate him. He's not even capable of talking.
00:50:25From what I've heard, you haven't been capable of anything for 16 years.
00:50:32Amplify the sound of his cell.
00:50:33Come on.
00:50:51Monroe, what is he doing?
00:50:53What is he doing? It makes no sense.
00:50:57Mute him.
00:50:57You can do that. You can do that to me. Don't do that. Don't do this to me.
00:51:03Mute confirmed.
00:51:05Mute confirmed.
00:51:10Mute confirmed.
00:51:15I don't know.
00:51:45I don't know.
00:52:15I don't know.
00:52:45I don't know.
00:53:15I don't know.
00:53:45I don't know.
00:53:46Let me in.
00:54:03You can't do that.
00:54:09No, you can't.
00:54:11I owe it to him.
00:54:13Cell unlocked.
00:54:20Hey, don't worry.
00:54:43Come here.
00:54:44Yeah.
00:54:45Remember when I told you about the Navajo and how they celebrate death?
00:54:50And it's not just something sad, right?
00:54:54Just passing to something else.
00:54:55I'll always be here for you.
00:54:56I'll always be here for you for that, okay?
00:55:01And I know that you're upset.
00:55:03And I hope one day that you'll understand that I couldn't accept it.
00:55:08That for some of us, giving up our free will for survival is not an option.
00:55:14It's okay.
00:55:16It's okay.
00:55:16It's okay.
00:55:17It's okay.
00:55:17Oh, my God.
00:55:47Oh, my God.
00:56:17My heart was going to break.
00:56:21I had never seen anything so strong or so beautiful.
00:56:27I envy you for having made that dear universe.
00:56:29I'm trying to help you because if you resist this, you're going to die.
00:56:49I don't know you, but I know what you're capable of.
00:57:03Imagine what you could do in this world if others could see what you are.
00:57:07You can't give up.
00:57:15Don't leave us.
00:57:22Don't leave me.
00:57:23Don't leave me.
01:05:37Now, I understand.
