World events indicate that humanity is unlikely to stop self-inflicted climate change. Too little has been done in recent decades. But how will climate change affect people's psyches? This question is the focus of director Robert von Wroblewsky's film, which tells a grim near-future story. The story follows two unnamed women. The mentally ill mother joins a sun-worshipping cult to find her salvation. Her guilty conscience about the environment and hope for improvement drive her to radical acts. Her daughter, only eight years old, often remains alone and does not understand many things. The distance between mother and daughter is made clear by the lack of conversation. The adult daughter later joins radical eco-terrorists. The screenplay makes clever use of omissions and weaves the time levels together skillfully. The film was shot without a budget, which is impressive. Despite limited locations and characters, the result is impressive. The post-apocalyptic images are taken from news and documentary archives. The exact year of the action remains unmentioned, but the dystopian atmosphere makes the film a depressing piece of cinema.
