NONO
|

|
 |
«Pet man»,
domestic pet without voice or vote. Discreet, silent and
mentally absent. He lives with Angeline and represents no threat
to his «mistress» until, unchained by the persistent and
subversive eroticisation provided him by habitual immersion in
the prohibited channels of the Celestial Web, he begins
to become conscious of the attraction he feels toward her.
What Nono likes is to listen.
To listen to everything: the steps of insects, the leaves of the
trees, the skin and hair of Angeline. Armed with his microphone,
his headphones and listening, Nono has arrived at a privileged
level of perception, situating himself in a level of reality
above other mortals. It is only in this way that he can mock the
perfect circle of control of Notre Dame. It is only in this way
that he will succeed in communicating with Angeline's soul. |

Outstanding Marine Biologist and irreproachable citizen, in
spite of which seh finds herself in conflict: her seemingly
perfect fit in totalitarian society is becoming threatened by
ever more rebellious thoughts. Angeline keeps quite and seh
would never be so imprudent as to reveal her thoughts. But, she
finds herself increasingly hounded by her own mind, which has
already embarked on a lonely and inexorable path towards liberty.
Her mistaken admission into the
Sisterhood of Metacontrol and her increasing closeness to Nono
will bring her previously unshakable
—or almost unshakeable— principles into question. However, it
will be her physical and social fall from grace that will
situate her at the narrow border between life and death and that
will cause her to finally take the reins of her own life and in
an unexpected turn, jump into the void. |

HEAD
INSURGENT
AND APPRENTICE INSURGENT |
|
|
 |
They practice their craft filming and emitting subversive videos
over the prohibited channels of the Celestial Web. In this
clandestine manner they aspire to capture like minds.
The Head Insurgent, clown
by profession, is a hardened Spanish veteran formed in the anti-globalization
fight of the beginning of the century (Seattle, Nice, Genova...).
He has lost all faith in the revolution, but he doesn't give up.
His primordial objective is to preserve as much as possible
—be it only in the form of sound archives, the reason he
contacts Nono— the last traces of culture and nature that exist
from before the Sisterhood of Metacontrol came to power.
The Apprentice is his young disciple. He will renounce his
master
—like Peter to Jesus Christ— when he becomes aware of the
terrible end the system has at its disposal for those reckless
enough, like them, to engage in any type of romantic militancy.
The thing is, like the veteran always says
«failure is inevitable». |

Timón
METACONTROL INSPECTOR
|
|
|
 |
An inflexible and determined woman, she represents the most
dogmatic and extremist faction of the dogmatic and extremist
Sisterhood of Metacontrol. She has come to Pais to take part in an
extraordinary convention and to obtain support for her proposals.
She is controlled by an obsession: to accelerate the political
process. Nothing can stop her relentless determination and finally
she gets what she has so longed for. She arranges a solemn act in
Les Champs de Mart and after a vehement speech
—a diabolic inversion of the famous
Martin
Luther King speech, «I had a dream»—
she opnes the doors to a New Era, |

«NUMBER
THREE»
|
|
|
 |
This mysterious leader holds the highest visible post the
matriarchal hierarchy. No one knows who is above her. Perhaps
there is no flesh and blood person above her, only the dark and
impenetrable machinery of Notre Dame. Surely even she herself does
not know the answer.
She lives in a Parisian mansion that is jealously guarded by her
assassins. As has always occurred in dictatorial regimes, the
height of
Number Three's
post in the hierarchy places her above the law. For example, only
at her house can one hear music. But this heterodoxy remains
hidden within the walls of her residence, inaccessible to the rest
of society. This apparent laxity of thought, however, does not
undermine in the least Numer Three's position as a cruel,
calculating and pitiless leader. When she concludes that Nono is
not useful, she orders his death without batting an eye. |

ADVISOR TO
«NUMBER
THREE»
|
|
|
 |
The young social climbing advosir has arrived this far of her
merit. She doesn't awaken the sympathy of her direct superior
though, who sees in her a dangerous competitor and possible future
replacement. She is a perfect example of the first generation of
youth to come out of the bionic womb of Notre Dame. Manufactured
to serve the establishment blindly she is astute, seductive and
twisted, and she will use her best weapons to inspect Nono's mind. |

«METHOD
ACTOR»

He
is the infiltrating traitorthat no subversive organization can be
without. He stars in all the interactive videos produced by the
Resistance for the prohibited channels. Videos that Metacontrol
considers seditious pornography and which they pursue with fervor.
He is also the direct line of communication to Number Three. His
relationship with her is ambiguous, strange and mysterious. Surely
his traitorous behavior is not solely based on loyalty to his
government. The cheekiness with which he goes to Numer Three's
residence, the cynicism he shows in her presence... they are more
than suspicious. Behind the closed doors of the leadership there
is perhaps suspicion or maybe intuition of an indescribable carnal
or sentimental affair, we will never know. |
