The ugly side of superheroes
What if you suddenly had superpowers? What would you do? How would your friends and family react? What would your obligations to society be?
The superheroes' first missions- combating terrorists or rescuing disaster victims-- are a boon to France. Yet while these actions bring the country pride, unity quickly starts to unravel. These superheroes, ultimately, are human. Paparazzi are everywhere. One has an affair with another's wife. Another questions following the government's imperialist agenda. Meanwhile the public carps on social media. Molia takes our fascination with superheroes and adds a cutting portrayal of contemporary social mores to create an entertaining and disturbing work with deep dystopian underpinnings.
