³ÉÈËÂÛ̳

A 2005 three-door Japanese hatchback recollects its life in this short science fiction film.

The car is named (by itself) Trademarkestate and describes its everyday use and the toll taken on its tyres - sensory organs that Trademarkestate believes it uses to interpret the road. Not realising its tyres can be replaced, Trademarkestate becomes increasingly disillusioned with its role and eventually stages a mutiny of its own body, quitting its job and freeing itself from its oppressive human operator, ‘the biped’, by way of a deliberate collision with a brick wall.
