Film Overview

After an apparent apocalypse, Meera survives injured inside an underground bunker with her lover, Paul. As days blur into routine, her world narrows to radio broadcasts, medical care, and Paul’s increasingly careful attention. Dependent on him for survival, Meera begins to notice small inconsistencies in their isolation—repetitions, omissions, and moments that do not quite add up. As her body heals, her certainty erodes, forcing her to confront the unsettling possibility that the danger she faces may not lie outside the bunker at all.
