After an enviormental disaster has caused the collapse of society, a stranger stumbles on an isolated community has a source of drinkable water.
I don't have a great deal to say about this dystopian tale. There are a couple of problems with this film that made it not work for me. The first problem is that the set up for the world and the conflict as laid out in the early part of the film didn't make a lot of sense. The filmmakers gave us too many details with the result I spent too many times trying to work out if the story they were telling us actually worked. The other problem, which is one of my pet peeves of end of civiliation stories, is that everything doesn't look used. People and things are clean. There isn't a lived in quality to what we see or even how people physically hold themselves. I never connected.
While I was never fully invested I did stay to the end. For post apocalyptic fans this film is worth a look.
