Info
7 months ago added

in the year 2257 a.d humans have settled
on an earth-like planet aptly called new
world
a young man todd is walking his dog and
seems to communicate with him via his
thoughts
which manifest around his head like a
colorful smoke his dog
manche barks and reacts to the
manifestation
as he is walking back toward the
settlement where he lives todd is
approached by a man on a horse that
happens to be the preacher
todd tries to contain his thoughts and
their manifestation outside of him
calling the phenomenon the noise he
thinks it burns to control his noise and
birds appear around his head
but he loses control over it wondering
why the preacher is there at all
since no one really goes to church
anymore he hears todd's noise
prompting him to walk back and to
confront him he tells him not to hide
his noise
because he knows his truth that he is an
orphan behaving weakly like a woman
todd has never seen a woman though since
all the women from the new world are
gone
the preacher walks up in front of him
floating verses from the bible
leaving the boy and his dog behind the
same day todd goes back to his homestead
where he is greeted by his stepfathers
working on a field
later they have dinner together chatting
about how his day went
he tries to hide the fact that he spoke
to the mayor of their settlement
but his noise betrays him as it
manifests mayor prentice complimenting
him on the clever way he had used his
noise earlier that day
his stepfathers are not impressed by
that to the contrary they believe that
he is not a welcome person in their
son's life
in a flashback a very young todd is
talking to the mayor
he gives the boy a knife and tells him
that he needs to learn to tame and
control things
to protect the only ones that are left
todd quickly learns that by tame the
mayor really means to kill
it's revealed that the flashback is a
noise manifestation
the mayor explains how unlike todd he
wasn't born in the noise
but he needed to learn to control it by
years of practice
todd's noise is audible in his step
parents bedroom
one of them is really unhappy about the
control the mayor has on their son
a shuttle descends toward the planet
from a vessel in orbit around it
they have no contact with the surface
and no idea what is happening there
the crew is chatting about the settlers
on the planet which were part of the
first wave of colonizers
as the shuttle enters the atmosphere
strange things start occurring
suddenly all the thoughts the men on the
shuttle have start manifesting
revealing fear and confusion this isn't
something they are used to
like the men on the planet and
everything goes awry with the shuttle
because of that
its descent towards the planet becomes
an uncontrolled fall
the shuttle crashes back at todd's
homestead he and his stepfather are
working on a field
he goes to get something from their barn
when he spots someone fleeing from it
he starts chasing after them thinking
it's a thief the person leads todd to
the place where the shuttle had crashed
he realizes what it is and wonders
whether the thief is a survivor from the
crash
he sees graves surrounding the area todd
runs toward the settlement to tell the
mayor
but since he has trouble controlling his
noise as he walks traffic to get to him
all of his thoughts project what he has
seen all the men from the settlement
that hear his noise
start following him toward the mayor's
place curious about what todd's noise is
about
he tells the mayor what he has found and
takes him and a few others to the crash
site
when they get there he tells them about
the possible survivor and how they
didn't have any noise
the mayor realizing what that means
tells his men to find her
todd is very surprised by this
revelation thinking it's a girl
a space girl he's left wondering about
her among the wreckage from the shuttle
when he spots her coming up to him he's
fascinated by her
since that is the first time he's seeing
a girl she
on the other hand just seems confused by
his noise
he loses control of his noise again and
proclaims to everyone that he has found
her
she runs in ashay's trough the woods
ensues the mayor quickly traps the girl
with the power of his own noise
projecting a circular fence around her
she doesn't realize the fence isn't real
at that moment
back at the settlement the captured girl
and mayor prentice have a conversation
in which she learns that the noise is
something only men have
he also tells her what had happened to
all the women from their colony
that the native species of the planet
called the spackle had slaughtered them
all a long time ago during a war with
the humans
in their conversation she reveals that
there is a ship that will be coming for
her
the mayor wants to know where it will
land but she deflects his question
unlike the control the mayor has over
the men from the settlement he has no
control over her
he leaves her alone with his buffoon son
who instantly starts shuffling trough
her bag and finds an unusual tool
it turns out to be a weapon that he
activates by mistake almost killing them
both in the process
she uses that as a distraction and
escapes again crawling underneath the
preacher's house
before she flees the settlement the girl
overhears a conversation between the
mayor and the preacher
who are planning an ambush on her ship
when it lands the mayor wants to take
over the ship
the preacher believes she's an angel
todd goes back home and finds the girl
hiding in the barn again
he realizes how scared she is so he
decides to help her and keep her being
there a secret
todd even tries to hide it from his
stepdads but they see right trough him
even without his noise they decide to
tell him how he can protect her
so she doesn't fall into the mayor's
hands then
one of his stepfathers reveals that
there is another settlement on the
planet and that he needs to take her
there for her safety
before todd and the girl can leave to
the other settlement called far branch
mayor prentice arrives at the homestead
looking for her she and todd managed to
escape
but the mayor's son kills one of todd's
stepdads the mayor manipulates ben
persuading him to help catch todd as a
way of saving him
the girl whose name is revealed to be
viola todd and
start manchester journey toward far
branch unaware of what they might find
there
the two of them start connecting and
learning things about each other along
the way
she tells him that she had never seen
earth never felt rain on her skin
viola was born on the colonizing ship
her parents were also born there and
died there as well
todd tells her that he had lost his
mother too when he was a baby
they were both orphans todd quickly
becomes infatuated with viola
projecting his fantasies about her with
his noise naturally
she hates that on their way to far
branch they see one of the native
spackle
todd fights it and wants to kill it
thinking it is one of the spackle that
killed his mother
viola pleads with him not to kill it and
they realize that the creature seems
just as afraid of them as they are of it
when todd and viola arrive at the
settlement
they are met with a lot of anger and
hostility when the people find out that
he is from prentistown
they want to hang him fortunately the
mayor of far branch doesn't allow that
to happen
todd quickly learns that everything he
had always known about new world is a
lie
the most important thing he finds out
there is that not all of the women are
dead
in fact he learns the gruesome truth of
his own settlement that it was the men
who killed all the women and not the
native spackl
the men hated that the women could hear
all of their thoughts and they couldn't
hear theirs
that was how his mother died as well
unlike his own apprentice down
far branches populated by both men and
women with small children of all genders
and ages running around and a woman
leading the settlement as its mayor
she houses the two of them and protects
them from both her own people and the
men from prentistown
viola is saddened to learn that there is
no modern technology at far bench and
that she doesn't have a way to contact
her ship from there
however the far branch mayor tells her
that there is another place where she
can find a transmitter to send her
message
during their stay at the far branch
settlement the bond between todd and
viola grows
as she reads passages of his mother's
journal to him when he hears how his
mother explains the situation in
prentistown before the women were
slaughtered
his hate for mayor prentice gross the
speckle are not mentioned again
meanwhile mayor prentice and his men are
getting closer to far branch
he and the preacher don't seem to be on
the same page about what they should do
with the girl when they find her
the preacher simply wants to kill her in
the name of his god
but prentice needs her to give him the
information that he is after so he could
ambush the ship and take it over
once they arrive at the settlement in
corner todd and viola todd's stepfather
ben helps them to create a diversion
he projects a copy of viola with his
noise and manages to fool the mayor just
long enough so the two of them can
escape again
this time around though prentice and his
men are much closer on their tail as
they chase after them again
the preacher is the first one to catch
up to them even though he doesn't
succeed in killing either viola or todd
he gets a hold of manche and savagely
kills him as a warning
viola and todd find the wreckage of the
ship that brought the first wave of
colonizers to the new world
she realizes that there is a transmitter
in the ship but they find out that the
antenna is broken
they split up todd goes to fix the
antenna as she waits for it to get
online
as that's going on prenus and the
preacher close up on the wreck as well
the preacher finds and attacks viola and
while they fight his noise show that he
has lost his mind over his own misguided
religious belief together with misogyny
and frustration
viola manages to kill him in
self-defense with one of her advance
tools
todd fights mayor apprentice and tries
to kill him with the knife that he gave
him
instead after a grueling battle in which
he receives a horrible wound
he uses the power of his noise to
finally conquer the mayor
using the mayor's technique to control
the noise he creates a circle of women
around him
they are the women of prentistown he had
slaughtered including todd's mother
he disorients mayor prentice and in the
confusion viola pushes him of the side
of the shipwreck
the last thing that appears on the sky
before todd passes out from his injury
is viola's ship
the men from prentistown see it as well
and turn back without chasing after
viola and todd
todd wakes up inside the ship
disoriented and confused
viola is there waiting for him to regain
consciousness
his noise reveals how happy he is that
she is there he
finds out that she is actually part of
the second wave of settlers and that she
will stay on the planet with him
is she going to kiss me he wonders
