"Three leftist activists are brought together on one of the last surviving places of earth after a skirmish leads to global apocalypse. They find themselves clinging on to their humanity by taking on each other’s personality traits in a cold world filled with sexual perversions, cigarettes and alienation. Diaz’s film defies all boundaries and conventionalities of the post apocalyptic movie with a film that follows its own pacing and timing and uses its own kind of cinematography that makes everything look more natural and real."
