Set in 2038 after the beginning of the Sixth Great Extinction, huge biotech firms have begun to replace lost species with genetic reproductions. And now that a war wages between nations, governments have weaponized the planet’s ecology for commercial and territorial gain. Carys, a British scientist working for a giant biotech in the United States, communicates with her husband Michael, a university professor in the United Kingdom, via a digital transatlantic link. As their personal relationship deteriorates, so too does the political situation in the destabilized UK, forcing Carys to make a terrible decision.
Perfect Blue is produced in partnership with the UK company Pursued by a Bear and supported by a Pew Center for Arts & Heritage Project Grant.
