Sadie Sink's character sacrifices herself for love and hope

In the new Hulu musical "O’Dessa," Sadie Sink stars as a young woman navigating a post-apocalyptic world filled with danger and music. The film, written and directed by Geremy Jasper, has a sci-fi rock opera feel reminiscent of the 1980s. Sink plays O’Dessa, a 19-year-old girl on a quest to save her dying world through her music. O'Dessa's journey begins on a run-down farm with her sick mother after her father, a musician, vanished years ago. The land is poisoned by a hazardous substance called plasma, which killed their farm. O’Dessa inherits a prophetic family legacy that speaks of a “seventh son” destined to change the world through song. After a series of tragic events lead her to dig up her father's guitar, she decides to leave and fulfill her destiny. In her travels, O’Dessa finds love with a fellow musician named Euri, but their relationship faces challenges from a powerful media personality, Plutonovich. The story unfolds as O’Dessa must battle against the oppressive forces controlling Euri and the people of her world. When Plutonovich discovers their love, he threatens their lives, leading O’Dessa to fight back. The film culminates in a dramatic talent show hosted by Plutonovich, where O'Dessa takes center stage to save Euri. She delivers an impressive performance with a single guitar string. After winning the competition, Plutonovich deceives her, returning a distorted version of Euri. Heartbroken, O'Dessa destroys her guitar and triggers an explosion, seemingly condemning them both. In the film's conclusion, O'Dessa and Euri reunite in a lush afterlife, surrounded by greenery, suggesting they both died and found peace together. The story leaves viewers contemplating the impact of art and love, with a final scene showing a young girl representing O’Dessa’s enduring spirit as she plays music. Themes of media control and environmental issues are subtly woven throughout the narrative, making O’Dessa a thought-provoking musical experience.
