(Synopsis) In a dystopian future, Ruby, the youngest heir, cares for her paralyzed mother in a greenhouse inherited from her great grandfather. Their lives are controlled by Ruby’s abusive stepfather, a former hunter hired by her grandfather. An intrusive Preacher further controls their existence. When two unexpected outsiders arrive, a police officer and an enigmatic figure, tensions rise and secrets unravel. Magical and mysterious events follow, all centered around the curse of a small turtle, leading to a showdown between peace and destruction on the disputed land.
(About) The movie expresses a fairy-tale like narrative with many levels of political and historic subtexts. It travels around themes of war, love, refugees, capitalism and eco-fascism. It’s equally an experimental narrative in its form and visual approach with a formal narrative layer which tributes Cinema. This movie has less dialogues and used inter-titles for storytelling.
