The Faded Day is an epic historical drama. The feature film is inspired by a true story from the mid-19th century in the kingdom of Dahomey. Its central theme is Life and Humanity. When the slave king, OSEJIE du DAHOMEY, kills his father, a young, lucid and bitter hunter swears to kill the immortal protected by fearsome Amazons. OGUNDELE is a hunter in his thirties, raised by his father OGUNDEJI, after the capture of his mother and his older sister SEREME, when he was two years old. For OGUNDEJI, the strength of a man does not lie in his muscles, but in his ability to anticipate the future. A dramatic question or mystery is: How does OGUNDELE manage to kill OSEJIE, the immortal king, motivated by fantasy and ego? No achievement can justify human sacrifice for power and immortality. But internally, OGUNDELE is motivated by revenge, the need for security and dignity, until he discovers the meaning of brotherhood, the sacred need to celebrate life over death, love over hate. With this project we intend to visit the past of our kingdoms and recreate the present for a better future of our nations. We say: no one can build a strong kingdom or nation by despising humanity. Two original pieces of music describe the film. The first is used in Dahomey to praise a powerful and immortal king. The second is used by the Yoruba hunters to implore the iron god, OGUN, when launching the hunt. In terms of chases, fights, cinematography, style, light and music, we draw inspiration from Apocalypto and The Woman King. We look forward to developing this project with agents, producers or studios. Contact us now. Email: [email protected]
