A dark climate-catastrophe drama that uses acid rain as both literal threat and metaphor for environmental collapse, anchored by a fractured family forced into survival and reconciliation.

During a heat wave, strange clouds start pouring down acid rain, wreaking devastation and panic throughout France. In a world teetering on the edge, a girl and her divorced parents must join forces to confront and try to escape this climate catastrophe.
