Here the boy meets Momo, now a soldier-woman, who fights against the monsters bloodsuckers. At the end the boy, with the help of his electric rod's light, will save the world and be back to his time where he'll tell Momo his(their) adventure. In this short we can find some elements that the visionary director will developed in his following works: the human mutation, the rappresentation of cyberpunk apocalyptic worlds, the hypercinetic editing with a lot of cuts.
