About This Movie

The performances, though understated, capture a certain charm as they reflect the ennui of a world that’s ended but hasn’t quite figured it out yet. Practical effects are minimal, but they serve the narrative well, emphasizing that in the end, it's all about how you make the mundane special despite the circumstances.
