Kate and Albert, sister and brother,
are not yet the last two human
beings on earth, but Albert is
hopeful. The secluded communal
farm they grew up on is - after
twenty years - disintegrating, taking
their parents' marriage with it.
They both try to escape: Kate, at
seventeen, to a suburbia she knows
only through fiction and Albert, at
eleven, into preparations for the
end of the world - which is coming,
he is sure. And then there is Don:
father of the family, leader and
maker of elaborate speeches. Faced
with the prospect of saving his
community, his marriage, his son
from apocalyptic visions and his
daughter from impending men, he
sets to work on reunifying the
commune by bringing it into the
modern age, through self-
sufficiency, charisma and a rave
with a 10k soundsystem. The last
day on earth is coming. Bring your
own booze.
