Wonderland
In the year 2036, Stockholm exists under the oppressive rule of a one-world government that governs every aspect of its citizens' lives. In this dystopian future, thought control and mind-reading technologies have become commonplace. Amidst this bleak reality, a growing resistance emerges. Their weapon of choice is not physical force, but the subversive power of Neil Young's timeless anthem, "Keep on Rocking in the Free World."
Assigned to quell this rebellion is the young, brilliant, and emotionally distant Samira Saber. As she delves deeper into the rebel movement, she uncovers a world of clandestine gatherings, hidden messages, and the enduring power of music as a means of resistance.
Samira finds herself torn between loyalty to her duty and a growing realization that the rebels may be fighting for something worth preserving. Wonderland becomes a thrilling exploration of the human spirit's resilience in the face of technological tyranny, set against the backdrop of a city yearning for the freedom to rock on in a world that was once free.
