- The movie opens to an extreme close-up of the face a 16-year-old boy lying on the ground at night. This holds for a few seconds.
- It then cuts to some scenes from a currently-existing social group that viewers would find incredibly
- After a minute or two of this, the screen becomes slightly pixelated and pulls back, and it is revealed that this is a TV program that a typical-looking American family is watching. The camera pans across their faces as they all stare intently at the screen. The family is white. There's a mother, a father, a daughter and son who are both ~16(?).
- Some interactions are shown that show typical problems of today that people take for granted.
- Somehow the son and daughter end up in a field, away from everyone else, and there they encounter something like the flying vehicle out of Back to the Future Part 2. They meet a woman.
- She takes them with her, and they end up in the "future", which turns out to be the same time as when the kid is living, but in a different part of the world. It becomes clear that the kid has been living in some kind of commune that has purposely kept itself separate from the rest of the world.
- The kids get into some kind of plot that inevitably will have them running into all kinds of futuristic inventions.
- Some kind of plot development leads to the kids being put back into their old community at the very end. We're shown the old way of life somehow (maybe the kids are dropped off near their house, and they see their family / parents step outside, so we see the parents again).
- At the end of the movie, we're back with the crying kid lying on the ground, but this time we look up and see what he's looking at: the night sky is absolutely crawling with satellites and planes(? I'll need to see whether there are flights that would take people over that part of the world). The kid had never understood before what those were, but now he understands that they are the rest of the world doing their thing, and he's stuck with his family.
