"NATION" is a short film that examines the volatile effects of ideological division within a society. The narrative posits that nations are not just geographic entities but mental constructs, defined and divided by the collective beliefs and ideologies of their people. This exploration is set against the backdrop of a society that initially appears uniform, with every individual donned in white, symbolizing a blank state or neutrality.
As the story unfolds, a powerful red ideology begins to permeate this society. Originating from one individual distributing books and texts with zealous fervor, this ideology quickly dominates, transforming the societal dress code to red as it gains followers. The escalation reaches its peak when a contrasting blue ideology surfaces, championed by a new group dressed in blue raincoats.
