Polish science fiction often carries a philosophical weight, and The Last Spark of Hope positions itself firmly within that tradition. The film opens on a world scrubbed clean of humanity by self-inflicted Climate Wars. We meet Eva (Magdalena Wieczorek), a young woman who may be the last person on Earth, living a solitary, routine existence in a fortified mountain encampment.

Her only companion is Arthur, a patrol robot designed to be her protector. This delicate symbiosis is shattered by a mistake of startling simplicity. After a scavenging trip, Eva returns to find her password for re-entry is no longer valid; it has been updated automatically, and she neglected to check for the new one. Arthur, a machine of pure logic, recognizes her but cannot permit access.

A simple error of human memory becomes the catalyst for a life-or-death struggle, transforming her sanctuary into an impenetrable fortress and her guardian into an unthinking jailer.

In Piotr Biedron‘s new film, The Last Spark of Hope, a climate war leaves a woman as the last human on Earth with no one around but her faithful robot companion. But what happens when that last ally rebels against its human master? Well, you’ll have to watch the film to find out.

In the film:

A woman who may be the last human on Earth struggles to survive with only her robot companion. As she battles the harsh realities of her existence, the stakes intensify when her once-trusted robot turns against her.
