The apocalypse has arrived. The accidental launch of a missile triggers a nuclear world war. In the basement of a museum, a handful of survivors await transfer to the "main bunker". Among them is computer scientist and Nobel laureate Dr Larsen. In discussions with his dying wife and letters to his missing son, he reflects on the atomic firestorm and on the future of a humanity forced to live underground. In his excursions to a nearby church, which shelters traumatised children, and to a field hospital, the gruesome reality of a world reduced to radioactive rubble is revealed. (Berlinale)
