Description
Big Brother’s totalitarian regime, constantly monitoring everyone and everything through countless interactive television screens, exercises complete control over actions and consciences.
Closed in his office at the Ministry of Truth, Winston Smith is rewriting the past to serve the Party. Everything adapts to the one and only truth, that which the Party stands for, the only infallible mechanism, the personification of which is Big Brother.
Everything, even the past:
“Whoever controls the past controls the future, and whoever controls the present controls the past.”
Inside him, however, with every lie he writes, Winston feels that his hatred for Big Brother is waning, and with it the desire to rebel against the regime. Eager to live in freedom and truth, he begins an illicit relationship with his colleague Julia. But he will soon understand that Big Brother is watching everything…
