Plot

Hans Löw plays Armin, a cameraman whose professional and personal lives are dysfunctional. He suddenly finds himself apparently the only survivor of some unspecified calamity that causes every other human being to disappear. After wandering for months or years and making due with what humanity has left behind, he encounters Kirsi (Elena Radonicich) and the two form a romantic relationship but Armin reproduces all the same pettiness that he had before humanity's disappearance.

Reception

Writing for The A.V. Club, Mike D'Angelo gave the film an A−, saying of the character study, "this droll yet poignant amalgam of the fantastic and the mundane ultimately suggests that while people can dramatically alter their behavior in response to extreme circumstances, on some fundamental level they don’t really change".[3]

gollark: Also, yay, I caught an Aeon.

gollark: So when you take an egg the queue goes forward a bit?

gollark: That makes a lot of sense, actually. I thought 5-minute ones added eggs to the front of the queue or something.

gollark: Ah.

gollark: What happens during hourly drops? I end up seeing nothing happening, some pages going eggless, and then more (normal-seeming) eggs.
