Avalon

Synopsis of Avalon

In a near future, in a decaying Europe, young people seek thrills in "Avalon", an illegal war game where they lose themselves in the intoxication of combat. Ash, a solitary and professional fighter, makes a living crossing the boundary between reality and the virtual world. After her former lover Murphy disappears into a vegetative state, Ash decides to enter the forbidden "Class A" levels to uncover the secrets hidden within the game and the mysterious girl known as Ghost. Directed by Japanese animation master Mamoru Oshii, this live-action film is noted for its post-atomic settings, atmospheric visuals, and a masterful score by Kenji Kawai.
