Partisan Arise - Synopsis

A scifi Dystopia by Suave Qui Peut Films, directed by Jule Japhet (2013).
2030. A cloistered woman on a mission, Mnesya, sorts then archives books to her wetware brain implant, capturing the last parcels of freedom of a world obsessed with control. The mechanical and repetitive task hopelessly turns the woman into a machine. Marching towards dehumanization, Mnesya is shaken by vivid dreams and the remembrance of Loba, The Walker. The discovery of a mysterious box reconnects her to emotions and a sense of purpose. Is she ready to give up the rythm of the machine to listen to her own vibration? Resistance. Arise
