hey what's up guys
today I'll show you a science fiction thriller film: "Settlers"
spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
nine-year-old Remmy lives on an isolated Mars settlement with her Father and Mother
no neighbors, no communication with the rest of Mars, much less with faraway Earth
Mother's greenhouse is struggling to produce vegetables
they have tried to raise pigs, and only have one
despite the tough and rough living circumstances
this tight-knit family cherish their simple and happy life as some of the earliest settlers
at night, Father teaches Remmy about the constellation and Mother plays acoustic guitar
evidently, humankind has so fouled up its birthplace that it is now all but uninhabitable
so Father thinks they are lucky to settle down on Mars
and he believes that one day the Martian society will flourish like that of the Earth
little Remmy is curious about the outside world
and often looks at the distant mountain in a daze
she also tries to go out, but Mother does not permit it
one day, Remmy awakens to a threatening note scrawled across their kitchen window
ordering them to leave
Mother walks out of the room in shock and screams at the writing
Father grabs a rifle to look around the compound
the speed with which they do this suggests the practice
and the frantically whispered conversations between Father and Mother
imply that they have expected this kind of danger
since no one is detected, Father shouts at the air, calling the invaders to show up
while her parents are consoling one another in the house
Remmy walks out to check her lovely pig
as soon as Mother finds Remmy missing, she runs to the doorstep and asks her to come back
two armed bandits appear from the horizon and attempt to kidnap Remmy
at the critical moment, Father shoots down one of them
and Mother stabs another one with her knife
and then she flees to the house together with Remmy rescued
to ensure a long-lasting peace, Father aims to eradicate all the invaders
so Father and Mother work together for the battle
with Father hiding behind the wall and Mother tipping off the location of the bandits
and then Father slings his rifle over his shoulder and heads out to take care of things
Mother takes away the armor of the dead invaders and locks all the doors and windows
wracked with worry, they hole up, staying quiet and away from the windows
although all possible entrances are shut tightly
Mother and Remmy sweat at home while waiting for Father to return
under such a dire situation, it is even difficult for them to walk to the washroom
Mother and Remmy painstakingly take every step forward and look back to ensure they are safe
finally, they flee to a room where Mother offers Remmy a bucket to do her business
Mother and Remmy hug each other and spend the night in fear
comes morning, Mother is so scared that she has to carry a knife around the house
the noise outside the window makes her even more nervous
she approaches cautiously with her knife and looks closer
only to find their pig snuffing at the window
as soon as she feels relieved, Remmy suddenly calls her name
to her shock, the invader is pointing a gun at them
introducing himself as Jerry
the soft-spoken but intense intruder explains that he is only reclaiming his rightful home
Jerry offers them two choices, to leave or to stay
Mother dashes out of the house with Remmy in her arms
although Remmy begs Mother to leave in tears, she does not heed her words
instead, Mother sneaks back to the house
waiting for a chance to assassinate Jerry with her knife
however, Jerry comes fully prepared, and he has already figured out her move
in their struggle, Jerry pulls Mother's hair and drags her to the floor
to retaliate, Mother stabs his lap hard with her knife
surprisingly, Jerry remains calm and promises her
that as long as they can live at peace with one another for 30 days
he will give her a gun for revenge
he can help the settlement thrive again, if the family will let him stay
it is an offer they might not be able to turn down, if they want to live
knowing that she cannot fight him, Mother has to give in
she requests to hold a funeral for her late husband, and it is granted
after burning Father under a rock pile up on the hills
Remmy again asks Mother to leave this place
but Mother is unwavering in her decision
for she thinks that the outside world is much more dangerous
so no matter how challenging it might be
they have to survive and thrive in the existing conditions
Remmy begins to count down the 30 days, each day she draws a bar on the windowpane
she is looking forward to the end of the trial and leaves this compound by then
observing Jerry is another routine Remmy does
one day she peeks at him through the skylight
and finds him putting all the guns in the underground compartment
she also checks Jerry's bag during his absence
from there, she discovers a gas mask and a portrait of a ceased invader
which stirs even greater curiosity in little Remmy
Jerry knows his way around fixing up the place
so things in the house are resumed to normal conditions
Mother is happy that water consumption is no longer an issue
Remmy's dull and boring life is brightened up by a robot (Robot) discovered in the basement
at first, Mother worries that a monochrome crate with mechanical legs would harm Remmy
but Remmy even befriends it
the arrival of Jerry and Robot makes their life in the desolate desert more colorful
as they get closer, Mother reveals to Jerry that she comes from the Earth
and has to kill Jerry's father for survival
Jerry does not hold any grudges, and he also promises that he would not hurt Remmy
as a widow, Mother is caught in an ethical contradiction
if she should take Jerry as her partner
sometime later, Jerry asks Remmy about the portrait in his bag
Remmy is too nervous to reply anything
but Jerry claims that it is not a big deal, and he does not mind who takes it away
matters turn more complicated for Remmy
as she catches a glimpse of a hormoneship between Mother and Jerry
Mother does not reject him like before, and the two even kiss each other in the kitchen
their intimacy has driven Remmy sad and mad
for she thinks that Mother has already forgotten about Father and betrayed the family
in her grief, she hugs Father's clothes and finds comfort in sniffing them
to her, it most likely feels like another stab in the back
further fueling her already adventurous impulses that are already barely able to be contained
the next day morning, she packs up her bag and leaves the house
without any compass, she decides to go straight in the direction of the sun
Robot has been following her, but Remmy chases it off
out of frustration, Remmy cries out
that it is better for Mother and Jerry to build a family without her
as she continues walking, she realizes that she could see her own reflection
she reaches out her hand to touch it and finds that it is a transparent wall
it turns out that the place where she lives is enclosed by a transparent cover
Remmy bursts into tears, she cannot believe that it is impossible to leave such a place
and then she journeys to a cave that comes with a switch on its door
Remmy presses on the button, and the door is opened, revealing a dark and gloomy cave
just when Remmy hesitates, she hears Mother calling her
thinking of Mother's betrayal, she plucks up the courage to step into the cave
since it is too dark, she takes out a small lamp for light
unexpectedly, the cave door automatically closes after she walks a short distance forward
as the door is shut, no more sunlight shines into the cave, making it more intimidating
now that Remmy cannot retreat, she can only press forward
all of a sudden, light is shed ahead, and she wants to step forward to see what it is
then a black figure appears in front of the light
frightened, Remmy crawls back and finally falls unconscious
she awakens in her own bed at home, realizing that her first escape from home ends in failure
she is still curious about the outside world
but Jerry tells her it is a much worse place than this
Remmy does not utter a word, but she disagrees with what Jerry says
gradually Remmy does not conceal her unhappiness
so Mother comes to give her some comforting words
Mother reassures Remmy that her immense love for Father and Remmy remains steadfast
the next day, Mother plays the guitar besides Jerry
which reminds Remmy of the sweet time they used to have
unable to accept Jerry as a replacement, Remmy runs away in anger
she hides in the storeroom and cries out that she hates Mother
to her surprise, her gentle mom does not spend time pacifying her
instead, Mother returns to the kitchen and continues with her house chores
when 30 days are up, Jerry passes a gun to Mother in fulfillment of his promise
and walks to the hallway
Mother picks up the gun and pulls the trigger, intent on killing Jerry
she attempts to rationalize her intimacy
by mentioning that she does everything for her daughter
to her dismay, this is merely a test set up by Jerry, and there is no bullet in the gun
failing his trust, Mother proceeds to commit suicide, and Jerry rushes to stop her
he comes back with injuries, and sadly Mother has died
by now, Jerry has become Remmy's enemy held responsible for her parents' death
filled with hatred towards this extra man
Remmy runs with all her might and strength to skip his reach
however, Jerry captures Remmy and begs her to remain by his side
as the years go by, Remmy has grown into a beautiful and charming young lady
under her care, pigs and vegetables have multiplied
furthermore, she has learned to use a gun
Jerry informs her that he will travel to the valley on the second day
without his presence, Remmy feels unease, so she also comes to the valley armed with her gun
over there, she sees Jerry soaking himself in the lake
before he leaves, he tells Remmy to try the lake
Remmy dips her fingers into the lake and finds it very cooling
so she dives into the lake to relax and take a shower
back to home, Jerry presents Remmy with a portrait of Mother
reminded of her late mom, Remmy sheds bitter tears
Jerry takes her in his arms and suddenly begins to tongue massage her
Remmy realizes that Jerry's intentions towards her grow more and more sinister
so she walks away quickly
Jerry then delivers the portrait to Remmy, leaving it beside her room door
Remmy has decided to flee Jerry, so she takes out the gas mask to try it
over meals, Jerry and Remmy have a discussion about their relationship
Remmy firmly rejects Jerry's request to play a hormone game with her
but Jerry insists that it is for the future of mankind
when she feels greatly disturbed, Robot approaches her to entertain her
but Remmy refuses its company
back to her bedroom, Jerry is seated on her bed, holding to the gas mask
as Remmy's intention to leave is exposed, Jerry is furious
during their fierce argument, Jerry puts Remmy to sleep with the mask
and sheds tears after she collapses
out of sympathy grows his evil thoughts, so he ties Remmy up on her bed
Remmy wakes up in shock and struggles to break free
to suppress her movements, Jerry shifts up to her bed and rides on her
he holds up Remmy's face and tells her to calm down
when all that proves futile, Jerry pulls out his gun and points it at Remmy's head
in terror, Remmy stops screaming
when Jerry almost molests Remmy
Robot shows up from nowhere and shoots Jerry right in his throat
despite his bleeding pain, Jerry fires at Robot in a fury
while Robot breaks down, Remmy takes the opportunity to untie the rope
and gives Jerry another shot
Remmy is clear that if Jerry continues to live, she will never be able to leave the compound
following Jerry's death, Remmy is left alone in the house
out of frustration, she does not clear up the mess back home
but cries out to the sky if anyone is nearby
of course, she does not receive any response
and then Remmy tries to fix Robot, her good friend since childhood
spending a few days in silence without any help
Remmy feels that she is torn apart by loneliness
though she avenges the murder of her father and mother
she could not live without the company of her enemy Jerry
hence, Remmy makes up her mind to flee this suffocating place full of painful memories
this time round, she leaves Robot behind to watch over the refuge
looking back at the house where she has been residing for years, she does not have any lingering
again she stands before the cave where she once visited at a young age
fully equipped, she walks through the long and stark passage without fear
what awaits her at another end of the cave is still wilderness
like what Jerry says, it is not much different from her farmstead
Remmy is unsure what lies ahead of her journey, but she is determined to move forward
