As Mateo (played by Erick Lopez) begins his commute to work, he's immediately stopped by an automated police officer who places him in restraints and puts him behind bars—all without any human interaction. While locked up, a large screen informs him that he must plead guilty or face a sentence of 45 years, but he has no understanding of what crime he’s accused of committing. Lacking funds, Mateo needs to find work inside the prison so he can somehow contact his family and get enough money for a brief conversation—but this leads only to an attorney who is more concerned with collecting payment. It's unclear if he will ever reach a courtroom, or even regain his freedom; and supposing he does, what could possibly be waiting for him? Given the current discussions about eliminating juries in some UK trials, this offers a disturbingly believable depiction of how that gradual decline might unfold as automation becomes more accessible, affordable, and efficient—particularly when it impacts those with limited means to fight against this increasingly prevalent pay-as-you-go system. Lopez performs admirably as the unfortunate man who grows increasingly exasperated at every obstacle, and the constant stream of jargon-filled text messages effectively, and occasionally humorously, strips away the humanity from not only justice but from human interaction itself. It’s worth twenty minutes of your time, and I wouldn't be shocked if it leaves a lasting impression on our everyday experiences.
