SYNOPSIS
Songbird imagines the world in the year 2024, when COVID-23 has mutated to an even higher mortality rate than COVID-19 (over 50 percent), forcing infected Americans from their homes and into government-run quarantine camps.
Immune to the COVID-23 virus, a courier (KJ Apa) races against time to save the woman (Sofia Carson) he loves from a quarantine camp.
It’s a romantic film about two people who want to be together, but they can’t because of the virus.
INITIAL THOUGHTS AFTER WATCHING THE TRAILER
It looks okay. Great cast.
However, according to the billboard in the video, there have been 8.4m deaths this year from the virus.
The idea of thinking about a world where this virus mutates and the world is in its fourth year of lockdown sounds scary and frustrating right now.
On the other hand, a love story during the 214th week of lockdown does sound compelling.
