"A bizarre, intriguing combination of political allegory and old
fashioned paranoid horror….the film as a whole leaves you on a genuine high." -Empire
Nada, a down-on- his-luck construction worker, discovers a pair of
special sunglasses. Wearing them, he is able to see the world as it really is:
people bombarded by advertising, media, and government control with
ideological messages like "Stay Asleep,” "No Imagination,” and “Obey.” Even
scarier is that he is able to see that normal-looking yuppies are, in fact, aliens in
charge of the massive campaign to keep humans subdued.
