576 is a playful satire on the absurdity of staking one’s life on fashion items. The film projects into the year 2006 to tell of an imaginary country hit by an unknown virus, which leaves it a desolate state that counts fashion accessories as currency. A girl battles a podium dancer, a Japanese schoolgirl, a street gangster and various other characters to win the coveted pair of limited edition New Balance ‘576’ sneakers that would make her the envy of all.
