Synopsis

The Harmony is an adaptation of Shirley Jackson's short story, The Lottery, set in a not-so-distant dystopian society where digital surveillance and censorship have created an atmosphere of violence. In a world where the internet is policed either by the government through mandated lynching rituals or by the military through targeted mob assassinations, we follow the lives of two families through the eyes of two six-year old children whose normalcy and childhood innocence is uprooted by the violence of their reality crashing down upon them.

Genre: Tragicomedy. Dark.
Content Warnings: Violence, Physical Harm, Childhood Trauma, Parental Loss.
