Story
The odyssey of three people in the aftermath of a flood becomes a visually impressive vision of a post-catastrophic world. Miguel awakes in the debris left by typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines. Torn between feelings for his girlfriend Andrea and attachment to his mother Norma, neither of whom can stand each other, he sets out to find a passage to Manila. Lawless religious fanatics and desperate survivors populate the apocalyptic landscape of the film, which is like a warning against the future – behind the surreal redemption fantasies and musical interludes, the next storm is already on the way.
