COLOR-LESS

Violet is an ordinary girl in an extraordinary world (or is it the other way around?) whose mother, Celest, constantly warns about the strict rules of the universe they inhabit: no looking outside, no taking unfamiliar roads and, if those two become inevitable, keep your eyes well shut because, above all other things you must never, ever, ever (EVER!) look at an “Other” in the eyes for more than three seconds or you’ll become one of them.
Nonetheless, after her mother leaves the room, Violet doesn’t resist and looks out the window inadvertently summoning a mysterious being. The strange visitor, who calls herself the-one-who-killed-the-cat, will push Violet outside the four walls that confine her body (and her mind).
A fleet journey will take Violet to an unknown place where she meets Red, an “Other”, who represents her greatest threat and everything her mother has taught her to fear. This encounter will teach them that even two very different people like themselves have more in common than they imagine.
That is how, in a ridiculous world in black and white, of “Us” and “Others”, with no questions or imagination, a couple of kids (with the help of the-one-who-killed-the-cat) will realize that what looks contrary or boring to the naked eye, seen up close and for more than three seconds becomes colorful.
