"Hope is a spark - It needs to be lit"

Overview

Centuries in the future, world's freshwater supplies are running out. Wars are waged over water, and China rules over Europe, including the Scandinavian Union. Far in the north, young woman, Noria, is learning to become a Tea Master, like her father. Tea Masters alone know the location of hidden water sources, including the natural spring that Noria’s father tends, which once provided water for her whole village. After her father dies, the military moves in to watch over the village -- and Noria. Refusing to give in her freshwater spring, Noria digs in deeper into her family’s secret. Within the Tea Masters’ books, she finds information that the government’s power is based on lies, that there still might be fresh water left for everyone. She risks her own life and sets out on a dangerous journey to find out if this is true.

A review by MichaelChoi
7.0

Written on July 8, 2023

Saara Saarela’s work has nice visuals and quality productive values due to its 2 million euro budget (sparing but appropriate use of CGI), but the idea of a young female rebel struggling against a brutal military dictatorship has been done to death. Hunger Games. Divergent. Etc etc etc and they did it with creativity. The pretty pictures cannot overcome a weak overall plot. There are good points and strong characters but this is not a movie you need to see. 3.5 stars.
