Movie Synopsis:
Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark survived the horrors of Hunger Games against all odds, now living what seems to be their new, rich, peaceful lives in district 12's victor village. Katniss struggles with her feelings for Gale and Peeta, as well as severe problems with a new head peacekeeper and his squad. But the government of the Capitol is not pleased with Katniss and her performance as the star-crossed lover, claiming that her behavior in the arena may result in an uprising from the districts and, in turn, a new war, with her being the face of it all. President Snow gives her and an unknowing Peeta the chance to fix this during the victor's tour - a parade through all the districts where the victors get to show themselves to the crowds. Furthermore, as almost a whole year has passed, the 75th annual Hunger Games reaping - this year being the third Quarter Quell - comes with a heart-breaking surprise for Katniss and her fellow district 12 victors.
