So. In end times, what happens to the humanity of ordinary people? Do people revert to the law of the jungle, or do they do their best to retain some semblance of decency and empathy in the face of impending doom? This film addresses these questions, as the main characters, Paul & Felicity try to come to terms with grief and mental illness even as the ultimate conclusion of mankind plays as a subplot. This film looks at the apocalypse on an indie level, with the human stories that continue to evolve despite what the universe has in mind for earth. It's a story that is earnest in its approach, as there is no humor to be found, given the heft of its subject. The opening scene sets the tone, as an acquaintance of main character Paul, deliberately ends his life, rather than face life on earth's ultimate conclusion. Ultimately though, it's the ability to find and embrace forgiveness that is one of the defining features of this film, just as forgiveness is a hallmark of an evolved human being. Its a smaller story of two people doing the best, regardless of the enormity of their larger reality. Overall, a well-made indie film with solid acting, directing and writing, plus a very polished look. It's a film that should inspire conversation, and for that alone, it's a recommended watch from me.
