The Hungarian dystopian movie from Tibor Bánóczki and Sarolta Szabó takes on familiar themes but outlines a new vision of the coming climate catastrophe.
, similar motifs to other high-concept, or hardcore science fiction,” admits Bánóczki, “but within this genre we tried to find another way of telling the story, another vision of this [post-apocalyptic] world.”
But this is no Hollywood sci-fi film. In place of Charlton Heston’s conspiratorial histrionics — “Soylent Green is people!!!” — or messianic salvation a la Keanu Reeves,gives us a tragic love story. It seems the Professor’s transformative technology has a fatal flaw: when the human-to-tree hybrids start to flower, their blooms are toxic to humans.
While developing their screenplay, Bánóczki and Szabó spoke to geologists, botanists and meteorologists about the coming climate catastrophe. They talked about worst-case scenarios, the damage done, about whether the end of humanity would really be such a bad thing for the planet. The film’s final budget, €2.5 million , was tiny even by European standards. “We were in France last year to present the project and a producer there told me making an animated film for under €4 million was impossible,” notes Bánóczki. “There are still no models for these kinds of movies. You are seeing some adult feature animation in Europe doing well at festivals and having success, but there’s no production model for how to make them.
