Lady Macbeth is destined to relive her most tragic moment in a never-ending loop for eternity, under the probing gaze of a new biomechanical lifeform, in this screen adaptation of Lady Macbeth's soliloquy from Shakespeare's play MACBETH, Act 5, Scene 1.

Set in a future where books no longer exist and a dictatorial government's total ban on expressing emotions and verbal communication has rendered people unable to visibly emote, A MOVING READ is part of the interplay between dystopian science fiction, fantasy and experimental cinema. Under the constant threat by Oculus Predators, mechanical creatures created by the long extinct dictatorship to enforce their ban on reading, HYPATIA, perhaps the only survivor of a catastrophe that seems to have annihilated all of humanity, is engaged in an epic quest to find the mythical guardian of the last book in an attempt to regain the very essence of what makes us human.
