An insane man first loves then grows to hate his neighbor, an old man whose penetrating gaze unnerves the insane man. He plans a perfect crime and executes it one night. The next day, two officers knock on the insane man's door, investigating a shriek heard in the night. The insane man invites them in, answers their questions, and submits to an examination of his eyes by one of the officers, who proclaims him innocent. The insane man invites them to stay and relax awhile, then regales them with his theories of crime. His heart begins to beat louder. Angles on the set are skewed to suggest the man's internal disarray.

The world is on fire, and one man does everything he can to avoid facing the impending apocalypse alone in this atmospheric zombie drama about the fear of losing everything you hold dear. In a remote house in the countryside, a man lives with his parrot and a mysterious creature locked in a cage, which he carefully feeds a daily ration of raw meat. While he tends to his chores in what appears to be a slow, steady routine, the world outside is falling apart as a mysterious virus spreads among humanity. All it takes is one unguarded moment for the fragile sense of security in the small house to shatter. Malin Dahl (Lantisar, 2019) has crafted a multilayered story of grief, beautifully captured through stunning cinematography—a must-see for fans of John Ajvide Lindqvist and existential zombie films.
