The world is on fire, and one man does everything he can to avoid facing the impending apocalypse alone in this atmospheric zombie drama about the fear of losing everything you hold dear.

In a remote house in the countryside, a man lives with his parrot and a mysterious creature locked in a cage, which he carefully feeds a daily ration of raw meat. While he tends to his chores in what appears to be a slow, steady routine, the world outside is falling apart as a mysterious virus spreads among humanity. All it takes is one unguarded moment for the fragile sense of security in the small house to shatter. Malin Dahl (Lantisar, 2019) has crafted a multilayered story of grief, beautifully captured through stunning cinematography—a must-see for fans of John Ajvide Lindqvist and existential zombie films.
