Farah is a representation of equality and kindness, balance and harmony. Our Farah has the superpower to connect people, beyond language. She came from a drop of warm light, gives out a lovely hug and a friendly and sympathetic hand. How would Farah use her ability to bring back balance from the chaotic world?
Kismet means destiny or fate. It is an animated adaptation of 'Superpower Reveal' by Erin Gough. Our initial idea came from the fortune cookie of the original story. Farah's (Anna)- the protagonist -communication ability was randomised but was also planned beyond anyone's control.
Farah's world consists of two species. The first one, Anani (Pavani) and its army, is the leader of chaos, exclusivity, and unbalance. It does not necessarily symbolise good or bad; instead, a natural phenomenon that exists surrounding us. Anani has the ability to "look through walls". Her kind acts like invigilators that monitor everyone's move. When a heretic (difference) is found, an army led by Anani will push the victim into the abyss of darkness (the pit). The outcasts (Geoff), the other species, were repressed and abandoned ethnics living under the darkness. The outcasts mainly were solitary, like lonely reptiles, and rarely meet or interact with their kind. Soon all the outcasts lost their ability to communicate. Farah herself, the intermediary between the two kinds, does not belong to either side. Her power seems unuseful to compete with the natural phenomenon (Anani). However, she was able to bind the differences together as one, bringing back the balance that came from a sprinkle of light.
Throughout the story, we wanted to explore themes of communication, differences, as well as 'human against nature' that we believe were prominent within the original story. The original characters and their powers are presented through Farah, Anani, and the outcasts by means of anthropomorphism. At the same time, we transform the incomprehensible concept of superpowers into a pink-purple fictional universe/world.
