The film, HuraWatch TV, tells the story of O'Dessa (Sink), the Seventh Son in a family of wanderers, who is meant to save the world with her special six-string guitar. She needs to discover her voice and sing a song that will liberate people from the corruption and cruelty of the dictator Plutovich (Murray Bartlett). Plutovich controls the population through a twisted game show that combines elements of America’s Got Talent and the Hunger Games, allowing him to live in luxury while others suffer. To fulfill her destiny, O'Dessa journeys to Satylite City, the heart of the problem. There, she meets Euri Dervish (Harrison Jr.), a talented musician who is forced to perform against his will. The two quickly fall in love, but when their future together is threatened, O'Dessa must fight to protect Euri and those around her. Visually, the film combines elements of Mad Max and Fifth Element, featuring dusty landscapes with bright colors alongside industrial city scenes filled with neon lights and unique textures, all complemented by striking costumes designed by Scott Dougan, Odile Dicks-Mireaux, and Anna Munro. The world of O'Dessa is a perfect blend of gritty and glamorous. Since this is a rock opera, singing is essential, and the songs are key to the story. Jasper and Jason Binnick created melodies that range from folk to rock as O'Dessa bravely faces her destiny.
