Özet:

Anesthesia takes a critical look at human condition in the early twenty-first century and tells the story of characters who anesthetize themselves to escape pain and suffering in a world thas lost its soul. Such issues as alienation, obsession with material prosperity and success, attitudes towards sex, life, death, and human quest to find meaning and purpose in life are addressed in the personal lives of characters from all walks of life living in the microcosm of the city of New York. The Enlightenment project that promised a better future for human societies by decentering God and replacing the religious outlook with reason and scientific method has resulted in a crisis of faith. The political and scientific bodies of knowledge or secular systems that replaced the traditional and religious worldview failed to fulfill infinitely complex web of Man’s spiritual needs. The film implies a return to religious and traditional worldview as the solution to humanity’s current crisis.
