CGiii Comment
When the end-of-the-world slaps you on the face and you still can't see the wood from the trees...what do you do?
Study for exams and partake in a little contemporary dance...of course you do!
And then, when you realise that things ain't like they used to be...what do you do?
You burn down your shelter (in this case, a luxurious villa in the forest) and go and live in a tree...in the same forest!
On what planet did these writers hail from? Because, it certainly wasn't this one!
It looks as if Patricia Rozema has lost her way!
A wholly ridiculous film.

The(ir) Blurb...
In a world that is increasingly dependent on electricity, a power outage seems like an awful predicament. Mankind is using electricity for the past 140 years, but still, we can't imagine ourselves living in a world deprived of electricity. In such a difficult and dreary situation found themselves a father and his two daughters, after a seemingly normal power outage lingered on, changing the lives of everyone in the region. What was the reason for this outage? Is it regional, or does it affect the whole country? No one really knows and as time passes, the family will have to put to the test its survival skills, adaptability and endurance, but most of all, the integrity of the familial bonds.
