This thesis is a short feature film entitled 200 that revolves around the story of Martin and his wife Sarah in an alternate Philippines set in the year 2023. In this alternate society, a law dictates that each citizen is only allowed to communicate 200 words a day in order to maintain peace and order. However, through the events in the couples' life, they come to question this ruling and begin to defy it. Following themes from previous dystopian fiction, 200 aims to emphasize the value of words and communication given the scenario placed upon the narrative.
