A bleak, conceptually ambitious post-apocalyptic meditation on mortality and meaninglessness, where a dying civilization transforms a board game into a lethal ritual.

During a future ice age, dying humanity occupies its remaining time by playing a board game called Quintet. For one small group, this obsession is not enough. They play the game with living pieces, and only the winner survives.
