Synopsis:
Set in a secluded, technologically advanced academy nestled within a vast, untamed wilderness, this film follows a group of students grappling with existential questions about identity and purpose. The narrative centers on their exploration of memory and perception as they uncover hidden truths about the academy's origins and the nature of reality itself. A pervasive sense of quiet contemplation permeates the story, driven by intricate character dynamics and philosophical inquiry rather than action-oriented conflict. The visuals emphasize a stark beauty – the contrast between pristine technological environments and the encroaching natural world mirroring the characters’ internal struggles. It offers a thoughtful examination of self-discovery within an isolated system, prompting reflection on what it means to be human in an increasingly artificial world.
