During the annual “reaping” in the post-apocalyptic nation of Panem, one male and one female child aged between 12 and 18 are chosen as tributes for The Hunger Games. In the 74th edition of the Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen, a young self-sufficient 16-year-old girl offers herself as a tribute from District 12 in place of her younger sister, Primrose. Peeta Mellark, a boy who went to school with Katniss is chosen as the male tribute. Katniss and Peeta make their way to the Capitol, where the Games are always held. They try to make themselves presentable with the help of various stylists and advisors – to gain sponsors during the Games for food and tools for survival. During the Games, Katniss and Peeta undergo several chilling trials in their attempt to stay alive. They end up winning the hearts of the public as “star-crossed lovers”, but the oppressive Capitol is not too happy when they begin rebelling.
