    Change is an old revolutionary, returning to its hometown looking for recognition for all it has done. Upon its arrival, it becomes clear that an event is organized in its honor. Change talks to four people, who guide it towards the event, but seem to hold different views on what Change should bring in the future. Change has to choose its answer to their questions and is judged for all responses. In the end, it becomes clear that Change is never really welcome. 

    Ad Hominem is an interactive philosophical choose-your-own-adventure film, based on Sofie Verhaest’s brilliant doctoral thesis Eutopia Unbound, in which the player is cast in the role of Change. The player is invited to pick an answer to questions proposed by four different characters representing four distinct utopic ideas. Through a maze of historical quotes on collectivism, individualism, progressive thinking and conservatism, the player is guided towards an event, organized in honor of Change's arrival.
