About This Video

From the creators of "Papers, Please - The Short Film".
The official adaptation of "Beholder" by Alawar Premium.


The latest Directive of the Prime Ministry of the totalitarian State bans foreign medicine. A landlord of an apartment house learns that one of the tenants is violating the Directive. The landlord must report the violation, but he desperately need this medicine himself…

Lyrics translation


Enough of obedience from those who are bound!
I’m sick of seeing false cohesion all around.
I’m tired of the heartless stare of those
Who are far too stupid to look ahead.
Their shirts turning brown, their scarves once were red.
We’re shackled together by one chain
And forced to pursue the same aim.
Shackled together by one chain,
We’re forced to pursue the same…

We've got plenty of land that we can't civilize,
While the greatness of the State is built on duress and lies.
You dare not say in public what’s been said in private.
Mediocrity rules, personality’s devalued.
And whatever I do, I always keep in mind that
We are shackled together by one chain
And forced to pursue the same aim.
Shackled together by one chain,
We’re forced to pursue the same…

Some will always find a god and pray.
Some will work hard on idling away.
Beggars keep singing the praises of those,
Who are to be blamed for social woes.
Here you can play any instrument,
But an outro is all you will get.
When the doorbell rings you have no clue
If they are just coming by or coming for you.

Here with wasted years all our hopes are nourished.
Here the one who is tired is the one who’s accomplished.
You have seen glitterati, you have been to the slum,
But you still can’t tell the cream from the scum.
What you can tell, however, is that they are all numb
And shackled together by one chain
And forced to pursue the same aim.
We are shackled together by one chain,
Forced to pursue the same…
