A bleak apocalyptic drama that uses impending planetary doom to explore isolation, family obligation, and the emergence of moral ambiguity in humanity's final days.

A meteorite is about to collide with Earth and the planet is gripped by despair and chaos. The inhabitants of the little town of Laguna listen to the news in terror. Ale decides to spend his last days shut away, getting drunk and listening to his favorite music. But his plans change when he is forced to help his mother and protect his brother’s four children. Then an ambiguous, disturbing stranger appears.
