Fiction

Marta decides to leave her toxic husband Milan and, together with her two daughters, seeks refuge in a remote home with her eccentric, aging father. Instead of finding safety, she enters a world shaped by his obsession with an impending apocalypse. He draws Marta and her daughters into his self-made “survival school,” imposing his rules and worldview on them. Marta’s attempt to reclaim control over her life takes a dramatic turn when Milan unexpectedly arrives, setting off a chain of events that nearly ends in tragedy. A mysterious family drama about how true wilderness is not found in nature, but within the family itself.
