Synopsis

How would you live your life if you got a second chance?

In 2064 the post climate change world is on the verge of destruction. The UN has developed a form of time travel: a person’s memories and their personality along with them can be transmitted to the past, to the person themselves in the moment of birth. Henrik, a brilliant and succesful physicist, has been chosen for a mission to publish the blueprint of the fusion reactor – based on his invention – to the entire world and thus prevent climate change from ever happening. But something goes wrong: Henrik is born in the wrong body and must learn humility while living his new life.

Film has been produced by Arto Halonen and Art Films Production and co-produced by Latvian Tasse Film. International sales are done by REinvent International sales, and domestic distribution by StoryHill.

After Us, The Flood has its premiere on 5.12.2024.
