Kalla takes place in a contemporary setting, but in an alternate reality where Christianity never became the dominant religion and most Western societies instead adhered to Pagan-based belief systems over the centuries. However, as now, any form of religion is widely considered passé in Britain.
Gwydion (Georgia Simone), is an outspoken and angry woman, who feels very keenly the injustices and inequalities of the world. Maeve (Lucy Dafwyn) is a positive force, has a strong spirituality and love of trees and the forces of nature.  Cyan Bruise (Drew Turner) is highly intelligent, cynical and disdaining of Maeve, who he feels in competition with for the attention of Gwydion, his only friend.
The group trek out of the city and up the hill to perform a Wassail to the trees. Here they experience something that might convince them of how humanity can begin to heal its relationship with nature.

Kalla is the first part of a story that asks what could result from listening more closely to the world around us.
Kalla II is currently in development.
