After a viral pandemic has wiped out most of the world’s population, leaving the few remaining survivors with a desperate struggle for survival, two young brothers and their female companions decide, for purely sentimental rather than pragmatic reasons, to head for a remote coastal resort that brings back fond memories of childhood holidays, but practicalities soon raise their ugly heads, in the Pastor brothers’ gripping, challenging, and decidedly pessimistic yet never overwhelmingly bleak feature debut.
