  ABSTRACT: By exhibiting alternative bodies, lives and worlds, The Congress (Ari Folman, 2013, France) opens a dialogue between art, technology and the representation of reality. The director, screenwriter and co-producer use augmented reality to produce an unusual effect of approximation between live action and animation. Amidst the discouragement of their lives, the characters define who they want to be, where and how they want to live. Technology makes possible what the will determines. The clash between technology and humanity in the setting, scripting and characterization of the characters is the subject matter of this study. Through the film analysis of the official trailer, it proposes to demonstrate how augmented reality, as a diegetic cinematographic element, mediates the representation of the real and the virtual perspective in the construction of will.
