Mono

A small car enters and parks in a narrow, dark garage. Driving the car is a woman in her forties. She is exhausted and inhaling and exhaling deeply. Una, the protagonist, enters her house dragging and smoking through the dark, stuffy rooms, looking like an automaton. The house, the objects, herself, everything in her world is in watercolor black and white, static. Una does not want to have contact with anyone, she rejects calls and messages, but at the same time, she feels lonely. She needs to breathe and regain energy, so she is summoned by a world outside the walls of her home: her garden. One momentarily serene, she finds herself in a vast outdoor space that helps her breathe again without difficulty. The black and white environment is revealed in the color that fills even the protagonist.

Imagine coming home from work, you’ve had a hard day and you’re tired. Your head bursts and you’re down. Maybe you suffer from depression, or maybe you’re close to burning out. The only thing you can think about is that you are tired of that life, don’t like what you do, and can’t react. You don’t want to have contact with anyone, friends or family, and simultaneously feel alone. All that you want is to find peace. What if contact with nature is peace? What if something felt so unreal as Virtual Reality can help us to feel more about the connection between human beings and the environment they live?
