Trailer and poster for dystopian sci-fi 2149: The Aftermath

April 21, 2021 by Amie Cranswick

Ahead of its US release this May, a poster and trailer have arrived online for director Benjamin Duffield’s upcoming sci-fi 2149: The Aftermath. Set in an oppressive future, the film follows Darwin (Nick Krause), a young man who is forced to do the unthinkable and leave his cement module in search of other people after it is hit by lightning, destroying his computer and only means of contact with the outside world; take a look here…

In the year 2149, a young man named Darwin lives, like everyone else; in a small cement module with little more than a computer. He uses it for everything. Verbal communication has died out, but he often instant messages his mother. Darwin is fearful of the outside world, which is widely believed to be contaminated. One night, during a violent storm, lightning hits Darwin’s module, which knocks out his computer. He is forced to do the unthinkable and go outside into the vast expanse of landscape. He is surprised to come across a beautiful young woman named Dara, living with her family, in a cottage in the woods. They teach him how to speak and show him the value of actual human contact. He is compelled to journey forth and share the knowledge of his new found life with his mother who is still trapped… however will it be too late for her?
