A genre-bending trilogy that reimagines the ancient Greek heroine Antigone as an immortal figure moving through different eras of human civilization — from mythic rebellion, to dystopian empire, to intimate human drama.

Synopsis

3,200 years ago, at the moment of her death, Antigone’s soul was rescued by an unknown extraterrestrial force and taken to the Aelora Galaxy, where she began a new existence. When a mysterious SOS signal is transmitted from a dying Earth, she makes the decision to return. With the help of DiDi #2—an engineer-mage capable of hacking reality itself—Antigone is given a new body in the form of an android and sets foot on Earth once again. What she finds is a world on the brink of collapse after World War III, where a feminist underground organization, Lady Bugs, rising out of Seoul, is locked in total war against the Earth Coalition Forces (ECF).

Standing with Lady Bugs, Antigone joins the Fourth World War. But at the moment of near victory, the ECF issues a final threat—to annihilate the entire ocean ecosystem with radioactive contamination. As the world stands on the edge of irreversible catastrophe, the war is halted, and a new proposition is made: three games will decide the fate of humanity—F1-style racing, a music duel, and poker.

Three games. One winner. A promise made thousands of years ago. Antigone has returned to fulfill it.

Now, the final battle for the fate of Earth begins.

This scene depicts Antigone and DiDi #2 forming the band Leondidis and rehearsing together. At its core is a sci-fi magical sequence in which DiDi #2 uses hallucination-based powers to capture and manipulate the human soul.

The final game. DiDi #2 unveils her ultimate hacking weapon—her form dissolving into cigarette smoke, seeping into the deck and reconfiguring the cards’ patterns in real time.

The Antigone Trilogy

Concept

A genre-bending trilogy that reimagines the ancient Greek heroine Antigone as an immortal figure moving through different eras of human civilization — from mythic rebellion, to dystopian empire, to intimate human drama.

Each film explores a different genre while following the evolution of the same character.

Film 1 — Youth on Fire

Genre: Mythic Sci-Fi Adventure / Heist / Action

After dying 3,200 years ago, Antigone returns to Earth in the modern age in response to a mysterious SOS signal warning of humanity’s collapse. Teaming up with a rogue hacker-wizard named Didi #2, she challenges a secret global power structure through a series of high-stakes games — including Formula-style racing, a music duel, and a final poker showdown that will determine who controls the future of the planet.

Tone references:
Mission Impossible, Ocean’s Eleven, The Matrix, with mythological elements.

Film 2 — Solanas Empire

Genre: Dark Dystopian Horror / Political Sci-Fi

After the fall of the old global order, Antigone becomes a central figure in the creation of a radical new power structure known as the Solanas Empire. What begins as a revolutionary movement quickly transforms into something far darker — a brutal dystopian regime where ideology, technology, and biological experimentation reshape humanity itself.

Tone references:
Resident Evil, The Omen, Suspiria, dystopian body-horror aesthetics.

Film 3 — Anti Gone with the Wind

Genre: Intimate Drama / Romance

After war, empire, and revolution, Antigone confronts the most human conflict of all — love. Set primarily in modern Seoul, the final chapter explores relationships, betrayal, and emotional collapse through the lens of a powerful yet deeply lonely immortal woman.

Tone references:
Korean melodrama, emotional character-driven storytelling.

Trilogy Theme

Across three radically different genres, the trilogy follows the same central question:

What happens to a person who refuses to compromise with injustice — even across centuries?

From rebellion, to power, to love, Antigone’s story becomes a myth about morality, leadership, and the cost of changing the world.
