A dark imagining of a bleak future, set amidst a pan-European subway system.
Vincent Gallo, Juliette Lewis and Udo Kier lend their voices to this dark, ingenious animated feature. Set in a not-too-distant, dystopian future, in a world fast running out of oil,'Metropia' tells the story of Roger, a nervous man from Stockholm. With Europe connected now by a gigantic subway network, Roger finds himself assailed by mystery voices every time he enters the gloomy, sprawling subterranean system. A mysterious girl, Nina, initially seems as if she might have some answers for him - but as things get weirder, he realises he is becoming entangled in a intricate, sinister conspiracy…
