Casted Europe -

– A legendary "Caster" (casting director) for The Europa Circuit . Elena has spent her career finding the perfect faces to sell policies to the public. She is cynical but compliant, believing the system keeps the peace. Her life turns upside down when she receives a secret brief from The Consensus: she must cast a "Villain"—a candidate designed to lose spectacularly to ensure a controversial security bill passes.

Elena tours the "Regions" (formerly France, Germany, Greece, etc.) scouting talent. We see the disparity of the new Europe: high-tech utopias in the North versus indebted labor zones in the South. She discovers Kael , a former history teacher from the ruins of Athens whose anti-establishment rhetoric is dangerously charismatic. casted europe
