The choice of the young jurors from all over Italy has been motivated this way: «The disturbing images of a dystopian future chase each other in a violent crescendo that brings to the fall of society in the pit of chaos. Nuevo Orden shows a scenario that is disturbing because possible. Franco directed an essential opera that is a severe message for the audience and a universal advice about the need to act before is too late».
