Synopsis

What happens when our dreams no longer fully belong to us? Like Moths to Light explores this loss through archives, research into brain-reading and new technologies that threaten to make our inner lives legible. Gala Hernández reflects on the fragility of what is most intimate in times of neurocapitalism and on the urgency of protecting that inner space. (FDM)
