So what is extinction? A new life, a new dream and a new ending...

A man who learned that he is going to die soon, finds himself in an extraordinary night with someone he met by chance. And he salutes the first episode of his extinction in the morning of this night. Zail is a freelance artist. Someone who feels that he is not getting what he wants out of this life, but who is also aware that he is not making the necessary effort... He draws murals on the walls of cafes, bars and restaurants in accordance with the demands of the owners. For this reason, he does not have a full-time job and a fixed shift. After suffering from prolonged spasms, he goes to a hospital and receives a diagnosis that turns all his fears into reality. Thus, trapped by poverty and despair, he falls into a vicious cycle that creates a deep void inside him. In that strange void that makes one feel insignificant and worthless, he equates himself with a snail he chooses as a companion. Because they have both sought refuge in their shells against the outside world. The disease continues to spread aggressively and Zail starts to lose hope. One day he wants to go out and relive his past mediocre pleasures. With "Gece" a transgender woman, whom he meets in a bar, his journey of the most colorful night of his life begins.
