In a world where females leave men with an on-skin-code during intercourse and only pure men can marry, Brieg teams up with a vengeance-thirsty Remel to remove the mark from his past but ends up working with a mistreated official, exposing the corrupted system.

Why did we write this script?
Bettina and I were brought up in countries where our sexual behaviour judged our morality. If we "respected ourselves", we would be approved by society and get a good husband as a reward.

We moved to the UK a while back. Yet we recently found out that hymen repair surgery is still offered in many clinics in London to allow women to bleed during their intercourse to regain "respect", even when, in some cases, they could not have said "no" to a previous penetration.

So, purity is still a thing. The idea of deflouring or soiling a woman is still a thing. Violence against women is still a thing. The statistics show that 85,000 women experience violence of sexual nature every year in the UK.

How would the world look like if these facts were reversed?

In the XXII century, the UK eradicated rape through the introduction of the female pelvic printer, which marks the flesh of their partner during penetration. This small code on the skin can identify the woman who had intercourse with the man being scanned.

The ideal man would have no prints.
The ideal husband would have only one - that of his wife.

Society needs men who are restrained and pure. Society loves self-made men like Brieg. Despite originating from the working class, he has become a respected scholar.
Yet, Brieg does not pass the purity test in front of his fiance. There is a print on his skin, clear evidence that he had intercourse with another woman.

To become accepted again by society and the woman he loves, Brieg teams up with a vengeance-thirsty rebel and a mistreated official to expose the corrupted government. The system harms women and men alike, abusing the power and money gained from printer sales. As the jealous official nearly kills one of her husband's mistresses and the rebellious friend faces the gallows, Briegs decides to forgo the woman he thought he loved and instead expose the corrupted system.

"Imprinted" by D. Scott-Jones & Bettina Gasser is a feature dystopian drama aimed at rebels of all genders.
