20 LINE PITCH
Malin, an intelligent man, escapes citiycamp chaos with maniacs
and ecocriminals left to themselves. Outside living conditions deteriorated dramatically during the reign of the Ecodictator
in 2055. Environment and climate have collapsed. Europe is ruled
by ancient men forming a ruthless Eco-Council. People under 20
constitute 25% of the population, egocentric hedonist identifying themselves with Government. Denunciation is rampant. The old ones,
mostly 90 and older, are devoted capitalists, emotionally entrenched
in the past, reliable buyers who keep the economy running. Tasty plasmafood products are widely distributed by Government. The drug „Eternal Life“ is reserved for the elite. Soils are full of poison,
clean food a rare commodity. Subsistence economy, ecoservice duties.
Chip-manipulated no-mercy GreenHelmets enforce harsh 12 EcoLaws
to save remaining resources from greedy people. (Government's motto:
EARTH FIRST - THEN PEOPLE!) Computer-controlled, addicted to
sexrobots, the population appears listless suffering from epidemic diseases. In the virtual "Hall of Martyrs" Malin finds evidence of
a 2022 double-murder case; he is listed victim, the ecoshow TV personality who had on air proclaimed 12 rules of ecologic conduct.
Arrested for a minor eco-offence, Malin serves slave-time in a
dangerous chemical dump’s plastic recovery unit where a female
official Iris arrives to inspect the camp. She soon adores his
innocense, slips him PowerCard to freedom.
He falls madly in love with Iris, in a former life beautiful
GENius Inc. scientist, whistle-blower who broke the news about the
GENius genfood conspiracy to Malin, then a famous TV personality.
She is spitting image of the virtual XENIA. The omnipresent beauty
and electronic pop-icon of the ecodictator flickers on every
screens in Europe. EcoCouncil Anouncements, food spots of the
„beautiful tormentress“ indoctrinate common-sense ecology to the people.
Fleeing through an apocalyptic landscape, Malin hacks into a NATO server to learn about a 6 Billion Euro Single-Cell-Protein deal to boost ailing Russian food economy. Chased by Web-controlling foe Heiland, villain SecurityChief, lover OF XENIA and defacto dictator, With the henchmen closing in, Malin fully under the spell of XENIA
is delivered by her in graceful „reverse Casablanca“ fashion and
spared unexpectedly by Heiland.His trail back to the here and now
leads Malin to pay GENius a surprise visit which solves yet another riddle.
