Odile and Rita are the founders of a geo-engineering company whose mission is to fight against global warming. Their flagship product is GeoSquidX, a marine plankton that has been genetically modified to reflect the sun's rays, thus reflecting heat and cooling the Earth. Through a non-linear narrative in seven immersive scenes, we discover the story of the two women and their company, between success, enthusiasm and weather catastrophes. Mixing computer-generated images and real-life footage, A Desperate Act is a fifteen-minute virtual reality experience in the genre of science fiction.
