When an asteroid hits Earth, leading to underwater volcanic eruptions, the inhabitants of a small riverside town start to flee inland. Before she leaves, Nian decides to say goodbye to her childhood friend. Along the way, she crosses paths with some of the town’s residents, while her memories of the town gradually become clearer. Awarded the Palme d’Or for Best Short Film at this year’s Cannes, this speculative drama offers a peek inside the apocalypse in equal parts mesmerizing and terrifying.
