SYNOPSIS
Let Them Have Their Way is a social commentary on human interaction in contemporary, advanced industrial life. The film's characters try to navigate a world in which inflexible rationality, social indifference, maximized productivity, and programmatic living interfere with simple human desires and emotional expression. Surrounded by mass media, consumerism, and interest groups who exhaust human emotions with trivial and self-serving information, the characters express their longings in seemingly irrational ways.
TEAM
