Happiness is scarce, and must be monitored. Each citizen is given a monthly ration of joy, intravenously – excessive use is punished. When the authorities introduce the ultimate punishment for excessive use, the restrictor Albert faces an impossible choice. The Restrictor explores a dystopian society with use of symbolism, odd humor and darker undertones, and might be more relevant than one would want it to be. (Orlando Film Festival)
