To Forget the Present
Konstantin ObukhovClave de venta
This psychological thriller dives into the rarely explored theme of escapism, immersing audiences in a narrative driven by an inner addiction to the past rather than the typical external threat. Unlike conventional thrillers that emphasize investigations or violence, this project presents a unique tension rooted in existential reflection, through mounting anxiety, vivid hallucinations, and a protagonist's gradual unraveling. It merges deep philosophical inquiry with genre elements, fostering international relevance amid a world that feels bleakly uncertain. As the story resonates with a generation seeking solace in nostalgia rather than confronting an unpredictable future, it opens the door to new possibilities within the psychological thriller genre. This makes it an enticing investment for studios and producers looking to capture a diverse audience worldwide.
Logline
A philosophy student, escaping loneliness into nostalgia for his past, finds a way to remain inside his memories - but his dependence on them erases his connection to reality and to the people who love him.
Sinopsis
Kyle was born and raised in a small, tranquil town, where his fondest memories reside. After moving to a bustling city and enrolling in philosophy, he feels increasingly isolated. Adult life was meant to be an exciting adventure, yet he finds himself yearning for the comforting past. The past draws him back with an undeniable pull. In class, Kyle grows closer to his professor, Warren, affectionately called 'Plato' by students for his academic zeal. Their discussions revolve around one persistent question: how can one access nostalgia at will? As Kyle's nostalgia becomes more consuming, he notices June, a vibrant classmate, and falls for her. Faced with a pivotal choice between the joy of his past and the prospect of a future with June, he opts to delve deeper into his cherished memories. This leads to a dangerous dependency on nostalgia, marked by hallucinations and a disconnection from reality. June remains unaware of his struggles during their park meetings, while Professor Warren wrestles with guilt for aiding Kyle’s self-destruction. Kyle had sought an escape from reality - and paradoxically, he achieved it. But at what cost? Forever changed, he is trapped within the confines of his mind.
