In Harmony, humanity is 50 years into recovery after our species was brought to the edge of extinction after a nuclear war. In this world, the human body is first and foremost an important resource for the species to survive and new technology, like WatchMe and Medicare, monitors, registers and fixes problems the body encounters. Combined with contact lenses, called Augmented Reality, showing the personal information of everyone you meet, the world has become a place where individual rights are almost entirely absent. We become acquainted with Tuan who works in WTO and is located in a place between those who live in this world and those who oppose that utopian way of living. Harmony is a beautiful science-fiction-film that describes how an individual changes according to the society one lives in. Johanne Svendsen Rognlien
