Imagine a world. A world with no hunger, no pain, no war—a utopia. Perfect. But this world is also without animals and birds, with no cute roaches to petrify your nasty little sister. Most importantly no love, no fear, no colours at all.
The world you are imagining is the world in ‘The Giver’. Born in such a world, Jonas is used to such dullness. But when the visions come, he starts to see colours. And when he is selected as the receiver of memory, he unearths the darkness of his “perfect, safe” world. On a quest to escape the “sameness” in a dull world, Jonas has to live a life to live and a life to protect. Will he survive?
