Many years after a radiation-based apocalyptic event, survivors are attempting to rebuild what their ancestors used to have - almost a feminist utopia - the survivors idea of paradise. However, war broke out as people argued over how to re-achieve this state. Woyzeck is stuck on one side of the war but fighting her own battle. Her and her fiancé Marie finally get the news - they’re both successfully with child (IVF). But as they tell their closest friends and family the happy news, Woyzeck’s starts experiencing some strange side effects and starts to push people away. Is it the pregnancy?
"My brain is a chasm, where fists meet faces and meagre household chores mean fear. The iron on and hissing. The plates clanging. Any decibel an inch high and I'm back in battle where something happened... I don’t know what happened."
- Woyzeck |
