The video presents a series of 19 scanned drawings, originally drawn in ink, one after the other on a long roll of paper. In addition to the common title Briga me... / I can't be bothered..., the individual drawings have their own title, which appears before each drawing in the video.
Drawings are a commentary on the country’s social-political reality (barbed-wire fences at the borders, a president who is only concerned about his image on Instagram, the influence of the Church, the erased) and addresses the wider ignorant attitude of the individual and the society toward unfairness and the suffering of others (killing animals to fulfill the desires of humans, the impossibility of crossing national borders for certain groups of people, the violence of cyberharassment, poverty / (forced) begging / homelessness, domestic violence and child abuse, bullying, (concealed) prostitution. While we individuals who have not experienced such extreme life circumstances, spend our time in (apparent) carefree enjoyment, traveling, reading self-help books, taking care of our cars, cheering for national sports teams and posting selfies on social media.
