The latest from the director of THE WILD BOYS stars Elina Löwensohn (KNIFE+HEART, LET THE CORPSES TAN, NADJA, SCHINDLER’S LIST, SIMPLE MEN), Vimala Pons (ELLE), Agata Buzek (REDEMPTION), and Paula Luna

Synopsis: In a faraway future, on a wild and untamed female inhabited planet called After Blue, a lonely teenager named Roxy unknowingly releases a mystical, dangerous, and sensual assassin from her prison. Roxy and her mother Zora (Elina Löwensohn) are held accountable, banished from their community, and forced to track the murderer named Kate Bush down. Haunted by the spirits of her murdered friends, Roxy starts a long journey pacing the supernatural territories of this filthy paradise.
