“Vesper” (2022)

“Vesper” (2022) is a science fiction drama directed by Kristina Buozyte and Bruno Samper, set in a dystopian future where Earth has been devastated by ecological collapse. The film explores themes of survival, family, and the impact of environmental degradation through a visually striking narrative.
In a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by ecological disaster, Vesper (played by Raffiella Chapman) is a young girl living with her ailing father, Nico (Richard Brake), in a remote and desolate area. The once-thriving world is now plagued by toxic vegetation and a collapsed ecosystem, and the remnants of humanity struggle to survive.
Vesper possesses a unique talent: she is able to cultivate plants and create new life forms that can survive in the harsh environment. Her skills are crucial for her family’s survival, but her father’s health is deteriorating, and they face constant threats from external forces and the unforgiving landscape.
The story takes a dramatic turn when Vesper encounters Jan (Edmund Dehn), a mysterious man who holds secrets and connections to the remnants of the old world. As Vesper’s relationship with Jan unfolds, she learns more about the fate of humanity and the possibilities for the future.
