The Walking Liberty

Naples, the future. An impenetrable jungle has consumed the very last remains of civilisation. Dilapidated houses are held together by ubiquitous lianas, heavy racemes of exotic flowers dangle in the green gloom, palm fronds shield all free people from the sun. A unique and very unlikely duo wanders through this post-apocalyptic world – fifteen-year-old cheeky, gutsy Yaya and her close friend Lennie, a bulky, thirty-year-old man inspired by Lennie Small from the book "Of Mice and Men". Their life is simple, although definitely not easy. The jungle may feed them, but Yaya knows that the only place they will be safe is the Land of Music. It is an imaginary land she tells Lennie about constantly. She gives both of them hope to be free forever – two pure souls in the womb of nature, unburdened by human order and universally challenged civilisation. It seems, however, that they cannot escape its reach. In the depths of the jungle, a new human society is being born. This new order, called the Institution, strives to achieve its meritorious goal and reinstate the reliable ‘system’. (Anifilm)
