In 2093, young filmmaker Kuve travels to the remote village of Umata to document the aftermath of a devastating war that outlawed post-2040s technology and brought ancient kingdoms back to life. There he meets Mumbi, a local filmmaker who challenges him to make his film without relying on AI, using only his hands, eyes and heart. As Kuve searches for his own voice in this unplugged world he slowly begins to understand that even in a broken world there is beauty to be found in the small human moments we so often overlook.

never before saw a film being made in this format but having your character be so openly anti ai and having the film written about her be made using it feels a little cheap
