Synopsis

Set after the collapse of the Earth's ecosystem, VESPER follows the titular headstrong 13-year-old girl, who uses her survival skills to subsist in the remnants of a strange and dangerous world with her ailing father, Darius. When Vesper finds a mysterious woman, Camellia, alone and disoriented after an aerial crash, she agrees to help find her missing companion in exchange for safe passage to the Citadel, the dark central hub where oligarchs live in comfort thanks to state-of-the-art biotechnology. Vesper soon discovers that her brutal neighbor, Jonas, is searching for Camellia, who is harboring a secret that could change all of their lives forever. Forced into a dangerous adventure, Vesper must rely on her wits and bio-hacking abilities to unlock the key to an alternate future.

Vesper is on the arty side of science-fiction, more focused on character and setting than in plot-driven thrills.

Vesper doesn’t just ask viewers to root for one more hopeless case as she struggles to triumph over adverse living conditions. Instead, it asks us to spend time with a young protagonist who thinks she’s on the verge of a breakthrough and leads us to constantly worry that she might be wrong.

The story’s arc may feel familiar, but it isn’t utterly predictable, with the child’s enterprise and cunning nicely matched against Marsan’s I’m Bigger Than You omnipotence. And the messaging of “Vesper” leaves this bleak tale a little room to breathe and anyone watching it the tiniest prayer of hope.
