A haunting post-apocalyptic meditation on isolation, forbidden desire, and survival in an automated, emptied world.

In a deserted city, a woman walks alone trying to approach and enter the forbidden zone. Traps and the morning patrol lurk everywhere. Electronic voices summon the (non-existent) people to abandon the city. Can a love affair survive?
