English Summary:
Kaena: The Prophecy (French: Kaena: La prophétie) is a 2003 French-Canadian computer-generated fantasy movie. The United States release of the film is distributed by Destination Films and features the voices of Kirsten Dunst, Richard Harris (in his last role before his death), Anjelica Huston, Keith David and Ciara Janson.
The film begins with an alien ship crash landing on a desert planet. The alien survivors, known as Vecarians, are quickly killed by the planet's predatory native inhabitants, the Selenites. The ship's core, Vecanoi, survives, and from it sprouts Axis, a massive tree reaching up into space.
600 years later, a race of human-like tree-dwellers have evolved living in the branches of Axis. One of them, a teenager named Kaena (voiced by Kirsten Dunst), is an adventurous daydreamer who longs to explore the world beyond the confines of her village. Kaena's inquisitiveness is opposed as heresy by the village elder, who commands his people to stay productive and toil for the villager's gods (who are, unbeknownst to them, the Selenites living in the planet below).
French Summary:
Kaena, la prophétie, parfois simplement appelé Kaena, est un film d'animation franco-canadien de science-fiction réalisé par Chris Delaporte, sorti en 2003. C'est le premier long métrage d'animation français à avoir été entièrement réalisé en 3D. Le film a fait l'objet d'une novélisation du même nom par le romancier Pierre Bordage.
Axis est une gigantesque planète-arbre. Cent cinquante kilomètres de racines et de branches entrelacées au cœur desquelles, coincée entre deux épaisses couches de nuages, vit une communauté d'êtres humains menacée d'extinction. Seule une jeune fille, Kaena, osant braver l'autorité du grand prêtre, se lance dans un périlleux voyage au terme duquel elle découvre quels sombres desseins se cachent derrière les mystérieux nuages d'Axis.
Hungarian Summary:
Az Axis gigászi kúszónövény, amely magasan a felhők fölé nyúl. A levelei között bújik meg egy kis falu, amelynek lakói halálos veszélybe kerülnek, amikor az Axis fonnyadni kezd. Az emberek isteneik segítségéért fohászkodnak, de hasztalan. Kaena, a nemes lelkű, lázadó tizenéves lány egy rejtélyes erő késztetésére szembeszáll a főpappal és népének ősi hiedelmeivel, veszélyes útra indul az Axison. Közben felfedezi, milyen sötét titkok rejtőznek a felhőkön túl: egy haldokló világ, egy ördögi erő, egy borzalmas rejtély...
