A regular man, trapped in an oppressive job reintegration system, begins to lose his humanity as he undergoes a dehumanizing process that transforms him both physically and psychologically, until he uncovers a primal force that could either set him free or destroy him completely.

SYNOPSIS:

Frank, a man trapped in a dead-end job, sees his life crumble after being fired. In a society that demands constant success, Frank is sent to a desocialization center, a program where individuals, under the guise of reintegrating into the workforce, undergo a process of learning designed to strip them of their individuality and reshape them to fit the system’s needs.

At the center, Frank is subjected to an initially pedagogical process, where he learns to disconnect from his emotions and his sense of identity to conform to societal demands. What starts as a mental and psychological training soon becomes a biological transformation. As the sessions progress, his body begins to mirror a regression to a more instinctive state, a change that goes beyond the mind and takes root in his physical self. Frank transitions from a man controlled by the culture of productivity to a being driven by animal instincts.

This more primal, animalistic behavior is not an anomaly, but rather a logical and natural response to the exhaustion caused by a system that has pushed him to the brink. Frank’s transformation is not merely a metaphor for his collapse; it’s a return to his most basic essence, an inevitable reaction to the inhuman pressure of an economic system that leaves no room for failure.

"Failures" explores how, in the face of the capitalist system’s overwhelming demand for success and productivity, the individual ultimately becomes self-destructive, leading to a regression to instinctive behaviors where culture and reason are replaced by animalistic impulses. Through this evolution, the story suggests that when individuals are forced to align with a system that strips them of their humanity, the only natural escape is a reversion to their primal nature.
