In a not so distant future, humans must take pharmaceuticals to feel any emotion at all. This is the story about two people who have been prescribed to take the next step in their relationship. Capsules by Burton Chaikin More About Capsules: In a not so distant future, humans must take pharmaceuticals to feel any emotion at all. Every morning, individuals wake up and begin their days by scanning their ngerprint in order to accurately measure the necessary personalized dosage levels of happiness, courage, anxiety, fear, motivation, and so on. We nd ourselves with Claire and Owen, a seemingly happy couple who want to take the next step in their relationship by prescribing themselves the ultimate emotion: Love. In this dystopian future, partners must have their compatibility assessed in order to conrm that the prescriptions will work to their fullest potential. At the start, the pills work exactly as expected for Claire and Owenthey couldn’t be more in love with each other. But as their relationship advances, Claire begins to realize the effects are fading for her alone. She attempts to consume more and more of this powerful emotion, but is only becoming less and less affected by her partner. Owen, meanwhile, could not be more in love. She goes back to the pharmacy to ask what could be going wrong, but to no avail. When she ultimately decides to stop taking the pills, Owen--so overwhelmed by his unreciprocated love--tries to force her to do so. She ghts back, and in doing so, gains a new understanding of the power of lovea power that existed long before it was packaged into capsules

Just goes to show you can't just take a pill for anything. Forcing a pill on someone is the same as rape. There is no communication whatsoever between these two, except for the love-making. and that is not the way to Make Love. It needs to grow through experiences, communication, common values and goals, and getting to know someone at deeper and deeper levels. We have been demonstrating this to you for a couple of years, now. There is no LIFE experience happening here. IAMCC/IYA

manny levels to this film very well done, in the end it shows how people who love eachother with out loving themselves only love an idea and body and when one changes starts to manifest better the other tries to hold onto the idea he has of her rather than the actual person, you can only love someone truly when you love yourself because it is in your self that you see others and in others you see your self, a yin yang kind of transaction. non dual

I felt that hard.
It’s been my experience than men love selflessly and longer than women do. When women decide they don’t love anymore they don’t need a reason, it just happens. It’s painful to know it’s likely to happen, but it’s best to enjoy the time you have while she feels it, because it probably won’t last forever.

Ya, when one strips away all the social facades and bull shit this is the reality for quite a few today and the substitutes one takes for creating or removing, replacing, and covering up emotions are not always in pill form. Confront learn and be more aware live authentically and be free to create at will. Don't be fearful of change.
reply

Can you imagine the backlash that would occur if a movie showed a man biting the lip of a female to the point of being bloody and standing up proud as an empowered man without being arrested What a crock of hypocritic shit. Even if women could have a pill to cure all of their suffering they still couldn't be happy with what they have.
reply

I get the point with what they were doing but I think they unnecessarily demonized the guy at the end. By the time we get to the end of the short she is a person who wasn't feeling the relationship anymore as a sign of change and he was reduced to just an abuser forcing himself on her because he felt a different way.
reply

I am blown away with how many issues they hit on. Mental health, pharmaceuticals, addiction, rape, and also reminding us that we get to choose what pill we take that day. We can choose to be confident, motivated, and loved, or we can choose to be fearful and anxious.
This was exceptional and a beautiful video.

reply

Extremely well done! Bravo!
The main emotion I felt throughout the film was sadness. Was it really two sets of pills making love to each other or were there people involved This film seemed like a relevant metaphor for the opioid crisis.
The actress playing Claire is very lovely.

reply

Brilliant short! I especially like the music. It fits the mood really well & keeps changing with what's happening in the story. The timing between the two is amazing!
This short is a bit like a pharmaceutical version of APPYness, (another great one on Dust.

reply

An interesting observation about a handful of issues- like a handful of capsules. I’d say it was worth watching- but even not watching it is satisfying because the music is superb!
reply

Now, when he got on top of her and tried to force her to love him, especially like that, it was wrong, it isn't right to try amd mate someone love you, especially In a rapey way like that.
reply

Seeing this again much later. Still absolutely brilliant. And the music well replaces the words. I'll watch it again in another year, and see if I know love any better.
reply

This is a lot like being in love with someone and both of you getting hooked on opiates first taking a pill then more then doing lines of them or heroin.
reply

Love can absolutely be an addiction. Where you crave that feeling so much when it’s gone that you will do anything to try to find it again!
reply

This apply to the comments and the film. but why no one ever reads the damn labels Could save a lot of troubles and misunderstandings.
reply

Better life through chemistry Hm. So in order to have feelings, emotions, you have to take a pill. Sad as hell. Good film!
reply

Y the guy wasting time infront of anger shelf.
All containers are looking alike right.
Grab one n go man.

MDMA was pretty good at first. I liked how her facial featured changed though out this excellent video.
reply

I fell in love with a bird that flew by then the Viagra kicked in at 98. 6. Just feathers remain.
reply

Dude only cares about himself. Never stops talking. Never listens. No wonder she was miserable.
reply

Been there. You don't know complete bliss or complete consuming depression till you abuse narcotics.
reply

I guess the love pills are the same as being drunk, sleeping with someone you won’t love. lol
reply

In the end, she found she loved herself and didn't need a man or pill to feel that. Interesting.
reply

That's a pretty ingenious way of bypassing having to write clunky dialogue. Well done.
reply

You KNOW you've hit rock bottom when you have to snort your love in order to feel it.
reply

Life is inherently unsatisfactory; the only utopia I can imagine is perpetual nothingness.
reply

Its amazing how much a person can convey with no words at all. This is beautiful.
reply

I'm curious, were any of those pills in that popathon a contraceptive by any chance
reply

No dialogue at all, and yet it's extremely engaging. That woman is a great actress.
reply

From Zager and Evans - everything you do and say is in the pill you took today.
reply

Welcome to 1984, or a Brave New World, take your pick they're both the same!
reply

There are two types of people. Some who think this is utopia, and some dystopia.
reply

love and addiction very dangerous and powerful. Love the light pink eyes!
reply

I didn't see the discipline pills. That's what is truly important.
reply

Hope we can these medicine for real in the pharmacy. so cool
