Traveling through a post-apocalyptic landscape, a father tries to reach the sea together with his son. Based on a novel by Cormac McCarthy, the film depicts a world marked by destruction and hopelessness, even cannibalism. In monochrome, gloomy images, the atmospheric allegory impressively laments the loss of humanity in existential borderline situations.
