Alexander, a journalist, philosopher and retired actor, celebrates a birthday with friends and family when it is announced that nuclear war has begun.
Alexander faces a chilling choice between silent resignation and a desperate, ritualistic bargain to halt an impending nuclear apocalypse. This meditative slow-burn forces you to confront whether a single man's extreme devotion can actually stave off total annihilation.
