In a future seemingly devoid of memory where humanity has lost its purpose, a young man named Ele guided by intuitions and dreams, goes off searching for the meaning of life and existence. Revelations and symbols set him on a path of enlightenment, leading to enigmatic encounters with a prophet-like painter of the desert (Chico Diaz) and a beautiful woman named Alma (Maria Luísa Mendonça), whom he soon realizes is his soulmate. With plot points based on Yoko Ono’s first art book, “Grapefruit” (which inspired John Lennon to pen “Imagine”), Blue Desert, a visually stunning sci-fi tale set in the distant future against the bold architecture of futurist Oscar Niemeyer’s Brasilia, offers a dreamy take on new age spirituality and the physical realm.
