E.Y.E.S.

To feel is to rebel.

E.Y.E.S TRAILER

About the Film

Science Fiction / Dystopian Thriller Dark, Thought-Provoking, Visually Striking

In the near future, the world is collapsing under the weight of chaos. Crime has skyrocketed to uncontrollable levels, driven by anger, greed, fear, and passion. Law enforcement is powerless, cities burn, and society teeters on the edge of total collapse. With hope fading, the global government unveils a controversial solution: the E.Y.E.S. Initiative — Envisioning Your Emotional Support.

E.Y.E.S. is a sweeping surveillance and behavioral control program designed to eliminate the root cause of crime: emotion.

Every citizen is implanted with a neural light system at the base of their neck. This emotional indicator glows in real-time, revealing their current emotional state—blue for sadness, red for anger, yellow for fear, green for joy. Only white—neutral—is allowed.

Showing any other color is considered a criminal act.

Agents known as "Keepers" patrol the streets. They scan for color. They arrest—or execute—those who dare to feel. The city has become a sea of blank faces and dead eyes. People go to work. People go home. Nobody laughs. Nobody cries. Society has become perfectly controlled—and utterly inhuman.

But not everyone is willing to surrender what makes them human.

Beneath the surface, a rebellion grows. A secret group of outcasts and emotional resisters known as "The Pulse" are fighting back. They're artists, former psychologists, ex-keepers, and ordinary people who remember what it was like to feel. They've hacked their indicators, smuggling in forbidden emotion and plotting to dismantle the E.Y.E.S. network from the inside.

At the heart of the story is Nova, a former top-tier Keeper who begins to question the system after witnessing a young girl executed for feeling grief. Haunted by flashes of buried emotion and secrets from her own past, Nova is forced to choose: continue enforcing a hollow peace—or join the resistance and risk everything to bring emotion back to the world.

As the rebellion ignites, Nova discovers a shocking truth: E.Y.E.S. wasn't created to eliminate crime—it was created to eliminate free will.

The final act builds toward a citywide uprising, where colors explode across the skyline and humanity fights to reclaim its soul. But in a world where feeling is fatal, even love becomes a weapon.

Themes

Visual Tone & Style

A sleek, moody aesthetic inspired by Blade Runner 2049, Equilibrium, and Minority Report. Stark monochrome environments punctuated by sudden, vibrant bursts of color—representing emotion as both danger and beauty. Flashbacks are warm and expressive, contrasting with the cold present. Technology is minimalistic but invasive.
