The zombie apocalypse hits Buenos Aires. Through the eyes of various characters, we experience the initial confusion, the ensuing chaos, and the fight for survival in a devastated world. From a family trying to reunite, to individuals confronting their own demons, this film explores how the end of the world redefines what it means to be human.
An interconnected portmanteau film by a trio of directors, chronicling various stages in a zombie apocalypse, this has something of the feel and storytelling strategy of David Bruckner, Dan Bush and Jacob Gentry’s 2007 cult classic THE SIGNAL; an evocative and unsettling series of pin-sharp snapshots of Armageddon, depicting the impact on various individuals, on their moments of personal crisis or epiphany, with each story representing a stage in the developing apocalypse, advancing the overall narrative towards the inevitably downbeat, and very final conclusion. Four stories, each exploring different themes and different moods, each very different in tone, from self-serving police corruption to dark domestic comedy, from the brutal realities of survival to the emotionally crushing nature of parental guilt. Recognising from the outset that the End of The World is, first and foremost, a human story, a series of personal tragedies, and leaning hard into that idea, this is a smart, genre-savvy, and surprisingly morally complex addition to the Zombie Apocalypse sub-genre.
