**FEBRUARY ZERO is a post-apocalyptic state description** from a first-person perspective, in which the audio piece by Linz-based formation Fang den Berg merges with machinima elements to create a constricting, audiovisual cosmos.

**If it doesn't happen, it will happen soon....**

**FEBRUAR NULL is psychogram and dystopia.** The film reveals the inner world of a sociopath and at the same time conjures up the atmosphere of a post-apocalyptic future. A radio play by the Austrian formation "Fang den Berg" combines with machinima aesthetics and experimental real film sequences to create an intense audiovisual cosmos.

**The action is portrayed from the first-person perspective**. One speaking position, two voices: embedded in a dazzling soundscape, from dark ambient to noiserock, and illustrated with darkly bizarre animations and shots. 

**If one believes the protagonist** Corall's explanations, he is locked in a laboratory facility and sends voice messages from there to the outside world - without ever receiving an answer. Hunger drives him to ingest a plant substance unknown to him. Under its influence, he seems to regain his memory for a short time: he reports a war of global proportions and becomes convinced that he was responsible for this catastrophe. The truth remains unconfirmed. But the search for it begins again and again.

**... The desert grows.**
