“In a moment, the world changed forever.”
AdventureDrama
A father and his son walk alone through burned America. Nothing moves in the ravaged landscape save the ash on the wind and water. It is cold enough to crack stones and, when the snow falls, it is gray. Their destination is the warmer south, although they don't know what, if anything, awaits them there.
VIBE
A relentlessly bleak and harrowing journey through a desolate world, this film is a profound meditation on survival and the enduring, yet fragile, bond between father and son. It's a grim, slow-burn experience, steeped in despair but punctuated by poignant human connection amidst a stark, unforgiving landscape.
