Involution erzählt die Geschichte von Hamming und Liv, einem in der Zukunft lebenden Paar. Die Erde gerät außer Kontrolle, beeinflusst von einem grausamen und unmenschlichen Mechanismus, der Darwins Evolutionstheorie zurückstellt … Jeder Mensch fängt allmählich an, tierische Instinkte zu spüren: unkontrollierte Aggression, Schutz der Nachkommenschaft. All dies führt zu Chaos auf dem Planeten und direkt zum Aussterben der Menschheit. Hamming trifft Liv vor diesen schrecklichen Ereignissen. Und es scheint, dass ihrer Beziehung nichts im Wege stehen kann. Doch schon bald verschwindet Liv und Hamming muss einen schwerwiegende Entscheidung treffen und sich einer Welt stellen, die sein eigenes Leben gefährdet, um sie zu finden.

Involution tells us the story of Hamming and Liv, a couple living in the future. A future that’s reality is a far cry from the one we live in today. The Earth has been sent out of control, affected by a cruel and inhuman mechanism that turns back Darwin’s theory of Evolution… Every person gradually starts to feel animal instincts: uncontrolled aggression, protection of offspring, spontaneous sexual desire. All this creates chaos on the planet and leads directly to the extinction of mankind. Hamming meets Liv right before these horrifying events. And it seems that nothing can stand in the way of their relationship. However, quite soon, Liv disappears, and Hamming has to make an important step – to face the world endangering his very own life in order to find her. Hamming clearly does not fit into the outside world, as his previous life up to this moment was private and as comfortable as can be. Each event means overcoming his internal fears, but he is not going to stop until he finds Liv.

The overall mood of the film is the clash between the future and the past, high-tech civilization and animal instincts. The sci-fi thriller features elements of action, drama and satire, while the visual world called “Involution” is magical and profound.
