ENGAGE | CONTROLLED BY THE ALGORITHM
In a dystopian São Paulo, a struggling cam girl accepts an implant that promises to solve everything: better performance, higher earnings—and the surrender of her own consciousness to an algorithm.In *ENGAGE*, Cindy tries to sustain her career as a cam girl while watching her income dwindle and her friend Vênus thrive with the help of a new platform. Engage’s promise is straightforward: handing over control of one's consciousness to an algorithm capable of pushing boundaries, boosting performance, and maximizing profits. However, once Cindy accepts the implant, the line between choice, memory, and external command begins to blur.Set in 2026 São Paulo, the film unfolds this conflict over five episodes, maintaining a measured pace and a cyberpunk atmosphere. Visual hallucinations, a loss of control, and invasive medical procedures bridge the gap between science fiction and body horror, while the pursuit of money forces the characters to choose between autonomy and financial survival.This Xplastic production incorporates adult content into its critique: rather than serving merely as a backdrop, the material is woven into a narrative about platforms, algorithms, and the commodification of personal boundaries. The result is a provocative, metalinguistic, and deliberately "trash" work, built around the conflict between body, technology, and control.
