Landscape with Invisible Hand
“They came for our love.”
Years into a benevolent alien occupation, mankind is still adjusting to its new overlords. Their technology initially held promise for global prosperity, but rendered most human jobs – and steady income – obsolete. When two teenagers discover the aliens are fascinated with human love and will pay for access to it, they decide to livestream their romance to make extra cash for their families.
This film offers a peculiar blend of sci-fi strangeness and poignant social commentary. It feels like a melancholic, yet darkly humorous, exploration of human resilience and the commodification of emotion under an alien gaze. The tone is quietly observational, inviting reflection on love, labor, and adaptation in a world turned upside down.
