OVO

Peter Gabriel

OVO tells the story of three stages of our evolution through the lives of three generations. It is the story of a family in transition, divided by internal conflict and by the great changes going on around them. It is also a story of forbidden love.

A father who loves the earth and everything that grows from it finds a way to work with nature, even though he only knows one way ? his way. The mother, who sits at her loom and sees the future emerging in the patterns she weaves, is unable to reconcile her feuding family and eventually turns against her own son. The son, with a passion for machines, starts a revolution, which was designed to liberate his people, but ends up enslaving them. And the daughter, whose quiet and enchanted childhood ends when she falls in love with one of the mysterious skypeople, an outsider, eventually defies both her father and brother for the Skyboy's love. The Skyboy turns from romeo to rebel as he watches his people being excluded and oppressed. Their baby OVO, born in the time of the flood, is sent in a floating nest that sails the sky - into an uncertain future.
