THE BIG PLOT
THE BIG PLOT
It is an experimental storytelling, which uses videos, texts, pictures, signs and performances to tell a story about espionage, political issues and sentimental relationships. Four characters tell a story using dialogues shown on YouTube videos, blog posts, Flicker pictures, Twitter, and via entries on their Facebook profiles. The spectators play a crucial role in the unfolding of the story; they follow clues by reading diaries and watching videos of the characters, they assist at public events, they find other pieces of the story disseminated over the internet and they can contact the characters to find out more information.

The fiction is based on a true story; the main role is a Russian spy who was arrested in Canada three years ago. By using his real cover name, the movie exploited his identity and his life to fictionalize an alleged plot by a Russian political movement. One of the aims of this movement (which does have a counterpart in real world) is to create a super-state called Eurasia. During the story any political aspirations are spoiled by complicated love tangles and weaknesses in the psychological integrity of all the characters.
