Only now inferno has no boundaries — the director gracefully waltzes on the verge of dystopia and grotesque social drama, bringing global generalization to the actual subtext. At the same time, Hausner clearly formulates the law of the inverse socio-cultural interrelation of generations.

The parental request for “conscious consumption” demonstrates loyalty to the “global world order” — the total control of global tyranny. For their children, “Refusing to eat is a political form of strike — an extreme form of passive resistance directed against both parents and society, an example of radical faith,— Hausner notes. — Young people today are afraid for their future. They are fighting for it, they want to act, take responsibility, have power over their lives, change something. Find meaning, save the planet and, thus, your future. Ms. Novak uses the fears of children and their desire to change the situation for the better, unites them in her ideology, her faith meets the desire of young people to change the world!” And paradoxically, the characters succeed in this: in addition to the endless guilt, the victims of the “universal mother” leave for the eternal memory of their ancestors a hysterical and absurd cult of nihilism that devours itself.
