Logline

“Ava – There is a truth behind the truth” 

 

Synopsis

Ava  grows up in the safe and caring environment of her family oasis on a desert planet. It’s all as “Providence” has designed it to be – just Ava’s strange visions need to be kept hidden from Moira, the spiritual leader of the planet. This works until grown-up Ava refuses the union with her destined “tekka” – a violation of the inviolable “Providence” and thus, Ava’s death warrant. Only thanks to her father does Ava manage to escape to the lethal desert. 

 She is rescued from her distress by Phineas, a mysterious and cultivated young man. After cautiously getting acquainted, they coalesce in the act of love. Phineas, Moira’s foster son and her chosen successor, and Ava, under sentence of death, are now on the run together. This union was never supposed to happen after all. 

 However, their love is put to the test when Ava’s vision turns out to be a glimpse into the subconscious of the respective person opposite her. By means of a simple touch, Ava is able to recover the elders’ “deleted” memories of the world before the “Great Storm.” Soon, Ava is declared an omniscient seer and is crowded by devoted followers. A new tribe is formed in which love and freedom are preferred to strict obedience and total submission. 

 What Ava doesn’t know: only people who are a perfect genetic match are allowed to coalesce to ensure the survival of the human species in the lethal desert. Moira reminds Phineas of the existential task of pairing – and thus drives a wedge between the two lovers. Phineas returns to Moira, chastened and ready to stop Ava along with her “new tribe.”

 For Ava, however, the newly found freedom isn’t negotiable and she’s prepared to defend it with her life. Too late does she realize that her actions nearly lead the entire human race into the abyss.
