WOUNDINGS Official Competition

Set in a futuristic world reminiscent of Kubrick’s CLOCKWORK
ORANGE and Orwell’s 1984, WOUNDINGS unfolds in a remote
post-apocalyptic island under rigid militaristic rule and
occupied by lonely shell-shocked soldiers whose job is to keep
the peace and hopefully colonize the island. To that end, the
government has enlisted fresh new recruits from the mainland;
lonely young women with dreams of “love in a uniform.” But
these eager and naive young girls will come to learn that
capturing a soldier’s heart can end in tragedy.
When the helicopter arrives from civilzation, three hopeful
recruits step optimistically toward a new future with thoughts
of real freedom and companionship in the hopes that they may
ease the soldier’s private torment and make good wives.
Six lives will come crashing violently together when the Prince
arrives to bless a marriage and tensions mount on the islandfueled
by propaganda that a visiting journalist is distributing in
a newsletter.
