Story: |
The haunting story of "The giver" centres on Jonas (Brenton Thwaites), a young
man who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colourless, world of conformity and
contentment. Yet as he begins to spend time with The Giver (Jeff Bridges), who
is the sole keeper of all the community's memories, Jonas quickly begins to
discover the dark and deadly truths of his community's secret past. With this
newfound power of knowledge, he realises that the stakes are higher than
imagined - a matter of life and death for himself and those he loves most. At
extreme odds, Jonas knows that he must escape their world to protect them all
- a challenge that no one has ever succeeded at before. Based on Lois Lowry's
beloved young adult novel of the same name, which was the winner the 1994
Newbery Medal and has sold over 10 million copies worldwide.
