    ABOUT THE PROJECT

    LOGLINE
    Ten years after a civil war fractured America, a former soldier turned smuggler is thrust into a perilous mission to transport a mysterious body, forcing him to confront his darkest failures and fight for a sliver of redemption.

    SYNOPSIS
    MOVING HER REMAINS is a gripping and emotionally charged thriller set in a near-future America, fractured and reeling from a devastating civil war. The story follows Saul, a disillusioned veteran haunted by his wartime actions, who now survives as a smuggler in the shadowy underworld of the American Federation of States. Tasked with transporting a mysterious body across the treacherous border, Saul finds himself caught in a web of fragile alliances and escalating danger, where every decision tests his resolve and threatens to close the door on redemption.

    Rooted in the raw survivalism of The Last of Us, the dystopian urgency of Children of Men, and the moral complexity of Civil War, MOVING HER REMAINS examines the divisive ideologies of nationalism and what it means to be an American in a society scarred by war and shaped by rapid technological change. Against this backdrop of ideological extremes, it delves into themes of redemption, morality, and the human capacity for empathy. As Saul’s journey unfolds, a shocking revelation will force audiences to confront not only the cost of mistrust and survival but also the very essence of humanity in a world where technology and identity collide.
