VesperĀ (2022)

Years after the collapse of planet’s ecosystem, distant citadels exert an authoritarian grip on those surviving in the hostile forests.

Imagine the cold dampness of Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker (1979) with genetically modified plants, predatory organisms, growing all round you.

Against this completely realised dystopia thirteen-year-old Vesper battles to keep her paraplegic father alive.

Subtle storytelling about love and life’s instinct to survive.
