David is different. He earns his living by collecting returnable bottles, distributes self-printed flyers with subversive-programmatic messages and has been trying unsuccessfully for years to acquire donors for a media-critical art project. In short, David is, if anything, a marginal member of society.
The virus has taken root deep in the people's soul and is gaining power day by day. This is also the case with Angie and Chantal, two socially crippled street girls whose topics of conversation are limited to incompetent lovers and happy-slapping videos.
But David has not yet been caught up in the virus of depressive apathy spread by the media, but is actively fighting for his ideals.
As urgent and radical as its message is, the system is ignorant. His call goes unheeded - and it is precisely this ignorance that makes a climate possible in which children reach a degree of numbness that Angie and Chantal have developed.
Angie and Chantal are the antithesis of David's understanding of values. When David is outside of society, the two stand in the middle of it, are its most degenerate product.
But they stand far beyond any morality - after all, they have their very own understanding of Andy Warhol's 15-minute fame dictum. When they meet Maria, a TV-sedated six-year-old, disaster strikes...
A bitter media satire, the nightmare of manipulation in its worst form - and a subversive statement between the lines. It's worth taking a second look... Because subliminal images convey a message in PROPEHTA that escapes the first glance...
