"Without the World"
“The world is mine” can be the slogan of personages of the
self-title film. They also create their own universe, on the edge of fantasies
and technologies, but it’s the world of future where cyber-relations are more

physically. They are electromagnetically hypersensitive. Though medicine still

Recently this zone has come under the risk of close. The community will

scholar, specialist in problems of consciousness and cyborg feminism. Donna
Harraway’s reasonings about changing world and its narrative turns into a
fascinating story of life and thinking. The film immerses us into the world,
full of sounds, images and thoughts.
