1/2. The first great dystopian novel of the 20th century, written in secret in early Soviet Russia by Yevgeni Zamyatin , and adapted by Sean O'Brien.
In a post-revolutionary future, OneState is ruled according to the principles of rationality. The penalty for dissent is death. D-503, the chief engineer of the state, meets the beautiful 1-330. Her initial intentions seem innocent, but soon D starts to question her identity-and indeed his own.
Director Jim Poyser Repeated from Sunday
