Tao
Short film, sci-fi, by Edo Tagliavini, Italy.
In the near future, Europe and USA are united in a "Democratic Federation": the only way to become a member of this federation is to attend the TV show "Tao" and to fight against other competitors for the green card.
Food for thought
Tao means "the way", but not in reference to a goal. There is nothing to achieve, you just have to be here and now, and celebrate life. Life has no purpose or goal. The Tao refers to universal laws, not those made by man. The Tao is the only true law, the principle that holds existence together. It is a Cosmos that holds together an immense intrinsic order, the harmony of the Whole. The most suitable synonym for the word Tao is Nature with a capital N.
