– How to break a city –
In 1923,
Ionia sends three of their agents to an
independent city state. Their mission is as follows:
bribe,
bully,
blackmail. Whatever it takes,
Trachi either swallows – or chokes on our terms.
– How to set it free –
It's grim news for about 40,000 residents, if weren't for a group of
four defectors. Supported by a group of domestic
liberators / terrorists, neither party is inclined to let the city go.
– Fictional People –
With more than
60 areas,
19 characters and
9000 lines of dialogue,
AUTONOMY puts the spotlight on the power of
micro-politics. It's a love-letter to narratives with uncompromising
authenticity – because reality is complex at heart.
– Fictional History –
Including flashbacks and flashforwards, the
story spans more than
ten years. One day a
prisoner is shot, afterwards a
girl dies to a firing squad. All of that and more, converging on a three day trip to the most important
city in the world.
