The GiverA clearer way into the story.

The story in one minute

Jonas grows up in a community that removes choice, strong feelings, and memories to keep life orderly. Selected as Receiver of Memory, he learns about colour, love, suffering, and death. When he discovers that “release” means killing, he rejects the system and escapes with Gabriel, a baby marked for death. The final sled ride offers hope but leaves their immediate fate uncertain.
