Philosopher Slavoj Žižek guides us through landscapes of classic film, music, social media, archives and webcasts. Making unexpected twists and turns, he maps the utopian illusions of our times. Through absurd juxtapositions and startling insights, we are seduced into recognising our fate, in order to change it. “If aliens were to visit Earth and by chance ask me, ‘Could you explain to us what humanity is about?’”, says Žižek, “I would not tell them, ‘Go around and look.’ I would tell them, ‘Look at these and these and these movies, and you will understand us.’”
