•
5m 2s
The protagonist walks through the city towards her apartment, hearing in the distance the sound and voices of a social protest in the city. When she gets home, she turns on the television, and to her surprise, images of the band VORTEX begin to appear as if in a virtual reality, in which she herself is the singer, acting as her “other self.”
This journey through the television takes her to a space of introspection where she is shown different people walking, gathering and grouping together to go to a demonstration.
This vision/experience that the protagonist has through the television is interspersed/alternating with images of the band playing live.
Then, when everyone gets together, they start throwing out many flyers in the street, on which the VORTEX logo appears, inviting people to learn about and promote the band. The climax is when they encounter a flashing light that attracts them and comes from an upper floor of a building, where upon going up they are abducted and taken to a space of another dimension, in which they are all submerged within this space of free expression, happiness and communion, where they are freed and connect with the rhythm and melody of the song “Voices” within a parallel space, the “Vortex Space”.
In the end, the protagonist turns off the television to return to reality, and upon opening the door to her apartment, she meets the band outside in the hallway, who come out of the virtuality of the television to pick her up and thus invite her to join this other dimension, the “Vortex Space”.
