After the collapse of Earth’s ecosystem, Vesper, a 13-year-old girl struggling to survive with her Father, must use her wits, strength and bio-hacking abilities to fight for the future. She is adamant about applying what she knows about science to the situation, and she tinkers away in a filthy lab, splicing DNA to discover out how to unlock Citadel seeds or cultivate her own food plants.
“Something wholly unique — at once modern and timeless, nostalgic for a genre only just created, already pining for images freshly cast up on screen.” – Ben Croll, TheWrap
“One of best films from Fantasia 2022. An exceptional look at humanity’s survival on a dying planet where capitalism still has a firm grip. It shows greed as a prison, and we’ll all suffer from it.” – Sara Clements, Pay or Wait
“Their world-building is astounding. Through a mixture of VFX and practical effects, they have crafted a world that feels as ancient as it does futuristic.” – Marya E. Gates, The Playlist
“This elegantly visualized dystopian fantasy envelops us in the world of a gifted girl fending for survival with her sickly father.” – Nicolas Rapold, The New York Times
