Quotum

2024, 3 minutes

A darkly comedic short film about a CO2 consumption app and climate anxiety, by the beloved Dutch animation trio Job, Joris & Marieke.

When every inhabitant of the planet is required to join a programme that tracks how much they can consume and how much CO2 they are allowed to emit, it initially has little effect. People fire up their barbecues, planes are packed, cars continue to speed down the highways, and no one takes shorter showers. But then it turns out that the app can’t be deleted, and reaching your “quota” has quite dramatic consequences.
