action
On July 12, 3503, a group of eight very rational scientists explored the Quarehd orientale plateau . One of the scientists was here before and wants to show the others his discovery. When he becomes too excited, the expedition leader advises him to reduce his emotions to the permitted level.
You discover a building from the 20th century and try to find out its purpose. Through a series of coincidences they can restore the place to its original function: it is a cinema. In the projector there are lights of the big city with Charlie Chaplin . When half the group starts laughing during a boxing scene, the expedition leader tries to destroy the projector, since he considers this emotional reaction to be harmful. There is a physical argument with a scientist who wants to prevent this. Meanwhile, Charlie Chaplin is shown in a romantic scene on the screen. Now the whole group is caught up in the spectacle and tears flow. Some popcorn and fizzy drinks are consumed and even cuddled.
