PlotIn a near-future world grappling with the catastrophic effects of climate change, millions are forced to leave their homes in search of safer lands. Among them is a diverse group of characters, including a pragmatic scientist (played by Kumail Nanjiani), an idealistic young activist (portrayed by Tresi Gazal), and a resilient mother struggling to secure a future for her daughter (Elizabeth Banks). Their paths intersect as they embark on a dangerous journey through treacherous landscapes, facing not only the perils of a shifting environment but also the complexities of human nature in times of crisis.
As the group navigates through this precarious new world, their personal stories unfold, revealing deep-seated fears, hopes, and the unbreakable human spirit. The scientist's analytical approach to survival clashes with the activist's impassioned pleas for solidarity, while the mother's singular focus tests the bounds of her morality. Through their journey, the film explores themes of migration, community, and the resilience required to adapt in the face of unprecedented global change. It serves as a poignant reminder of our shared vulnerability and the critical need for cooperation to overcome the greatest challenges.
