What will happen when machines surpass human labor? This short film imagines the moment jobs quietly disappear, giving way to a new phase of systemic inequality where displaced workers find themselves stripped not just of income, but of purpose and identity. Through speculative storytelling and AI-generated visuals, it envisions a world forced to confront uncomfortable questions: what does work mean once it is no longer necessary, what determines a person's value when labor is no longer the measure, and how does society redistribute meaning once its old structures collapse?

Created using Luma AI and edited in Adobe Premiere Pro, the film uses speculative fiction as a lens to examine the human cost of automation and the search for purpose in a post-labor future.
