The Limits of Control Page #2

Synopsis: A solitary man who does not speak Spanish is an underground courier. Two men who are both thuggish and philosophical send him to Madrid with cryptic instructions. Over the course of a few days, he receives his instructions from a series of distinctive individuals who provide words of philosophy or of warning and also give him a matchbox with a tiny piece of paper, which he reads then eats, accompanied by espresso served in two cups. He is quiet, self-contained, focused on his work. He has rules. He encounters and at times transmits a violin, diamonds, a guitar, and a map. Is he a smuggler? Merely an independent conduit? Or, something else?

But I understand

subjectively.

That's f***ing nonsense.

Your sick minds have

been polluted with crap.

Your music,

movies, science.

F***ing bohemians

on hallucinogenic drugs.

All that sh*t has

poisoned you.

And it has nothing to

do with the real world.

And I suppose you believe

that by eliminating me...

...you will eliminate control over

some f***ing artificial reality.

Reality is arbitrary.

F*** you.
