Humans are characterized by having patterns that are repeated every certain amount of time. These cycles mean that many of our problems are related with what was analyzed by our ancestors.Based on Plato’s allegory of the cave, in which, using the light of the fire and the shadows generated, he expresses his way of thinking about knowledge. In this case, the concept is taken and adapted to the reality of the modern world, where people are prisoners of technological devices that transport them to other realities, which can be manipulated, generating false standards about natural reality. This concept serves as a path to understand reality through the management of daylight. In this case the prisoners are looking at shadows projected on screens, once released, they will take a journey that make them adapt to the new truth, making them discover what they have been seeing, and finding out, through daylight, the natural reality that surrounds them.
