My name is Andrew Liulko, I am a director and producer from Ukraine, I would like to present you the post-apocalyptic series/film Forbidden. The story of our heroes will go through redemption, allegiance, liberty and true love in a world where you can breathe freely only in the "golden hour" and where the chance to survive will be for all who manage to unite. Of course, humanity was ready for this outcome and prepared a reserve of healing berries, giving power to those who control the warehouses.
Forbidden reflects the horrors of environmental destruction, the negative consequences of authoritarianism, the human desire for freedom and love.
The project is currently in co-production with US partners Lunar Door with Hollywood experience. We are on the way to creating a high-quality proof of concept and are looking for an investment of $50.000. We have a script, production team, locations for filming, project presentation, microgrant from Netflix and contacts with several broadcasters and distributors.
Thanks to the courage of Ukrainian soldiers, the resilience of the Ukrainian people and the support of the whole world, we are able to safely shoot the proof of concept in Ukraine now.

_____In the aftermath of the nuclear catastrophe, a group of survivors take refuge in an abandoned Kyiv subway, where they discover a stock pile of government issued artificially created berries. Eating these berries builds immunity to toxic nuclear fallout. Their community grows, becoming the only hope andfinal terminus for humanity. It is "The Last City.
_____Their community evolves into a totalitarian society and a corrupt Ruling Council is formed, who maintain power by controlling access to the berries. The propaganda of the Ruling Council forbids leaving the mines and forces everyone to work for the survival of humanity. Due to a fanatical attempt to recreate the process of growing berries, The Last City turns into a labor camp.
_____The Ruling Council accuses people of stealing berries, condemning them to death, and Sgt. Till is ordered to execute them. Till is forced to leave the young girl Laura as an orphan. The villainous order causes Till to betray and reveals that the Ruling Council is evil, exploiting people to increase the limited supply of berries.
_____Plagued by guilt and resentment, Till leads a rebellion to escape the isolation and false security of the "Last City." After a successful uprising, Till secures the remaining berries and begins a quest to find a new home beyond the toxic apocalyptic wastelands. Before they depart, Till promises the hateful and reluctant Laura she will have a better life.
