For the 16-minute animated film Lucky Day Forever, director/writer Alek Wasilewski depicts a future where the present-day glorification of the celebrity moron has been taken to society-destroying extremes. An intensely sinister and dark watch, tempered with some gorgeous animation and music. Here’s the synopsis:

Prole 514 dreams about winning the Great Lottery. The lottery winner is transformed and allowed admission into the elite White society, where everyone is beautiful, young and happy and people spend their carefree lives solely on fun and partying. One day, 514’s wish comes true…but was this what he really wanted?

Note that there are a few incidental scenes of cartoon nudity, so Lucky Day Forever may qualify as not safe for work. Hat tip to Robert-John.
