We all know what it’s like to fear a sickness that attacks our bodies, but what about a pandemic that affects our brains–specifically our memories. To many, this concept is exponentially more terrifying–and this is the premies of Little Fish, now available on VOD.
Check out the trailer and synopsis for Little Fish below.
Synopsis:
Little Fish, a romance set in a near-future Seattle teetering on the brink of calamity, is the fourth feature film from director Chad Hartigan. Little Fish stars Olivia Cooke (Ready Player One, Bates Motel), Jack O’Connell (Unbroken, Skins), Soko (Her, The Dancer), and Raúl Castillo (Looking, We The Animals).
The film centers on couple Jude Williams and Emma Ryerson as they grapple with the realities of NIA, interspersed with glimpses from the past as the two meet and their relationship blooms. But as NIA’s grip on society tightens, blurring the lines between the past and the present, it becomes more and more difficult to know what’s true and what’s false.
