SYNOPSIS A female testimony of a post-apocalyptic “ancient-Greek-drama-alike” non-human chorus of ashes' statues. The ashes of the victims of the genocide of Palestinians arise in an underwater world and tell their story, protected from the inhumanity of humans on earth, and accompanied by mutated fish-birds. A story of love and hope in an age of despair, through an audiovisual breeding of archival folk & revolutionary music, war field recordings and new smart technologies (Artificial Intelligence, VR and AR). LOGLINE “The ashes of the bombarded Palestinians of Gaza have resurrected in an underwater world as anthropomorphic corals, accompanied by mutated fish-pigeons. The ashes of one of the blown-up women tell us their story of love and hope in an age of despair.” Experimental storytelling through Artificial Intelligence, war-field recordings & archival media.
