@memess You're absolutely right. What Paradise shows isn't a distant dystopia — it's a magnified version of what we already live. We trade hours for salaries, days for convenience, and years for the illusion of security. And when we outsource tasks, delegate labor, or hire services, we’re essentially buying someone else's time — just like a company does.
The film doesn't invent a new system. It simply strips away the metaphors and shows us the raw transaction. Time becomes visible, measurable, negotiable. Maybe the real discomfort isn't in the idea of selling time, but in realizing how much of ours we've already sold without noticing.
