Synopsis: In a fractured dystopian world, rituals of love and sacrifice shape destiny. In Mareka, prom kings and queens are executed as part of a macabre tradition, while scapegoats are lynched to preserve conformity. Teenagers Dean and Libby escape, seeking freedom beyond oppressive rituals, while in Cotna, devotion to the state erases individuality. Philip Ridley’s Karagula intertwines parallel universes, memory, and faith, questioning humanity’s relentless search for meaning in chaos.
