Stranded in a small Icelandic town, a young Portuguese man named Paulo seeks out human connections and intimacy during the Earth's final days. This uplifting story centres around conversations with strangers, reflecting on loss, love, death and hope when time has run out. This is a profound debut from filmmaker Mylissa Fitzsimmons, who builds a moving narrative against the beautiful backdrop of Iceland, giving characters the space to process the past and present. It is a poetic take on the quiet apocalypse story, about placing our trust in others, and finding peace in our final moments.
