Im Jahr 2063 ist die Erde fast vollständig überflutet. Übrig geblieben sind zwei verfeindete Kontinente und eine vor sich hin rostende Plattform mitten im endlosen Ozean. Auf diesem letzten militärischen Außenposten – 3000 Kilometer fernab der eigenen Heimat – halten drei Männer und eine Frau seit über zwei Jahren die Stellung. Ausgestattet mit einer Atombombe wartet die Crew auf die längst überfällige Ablösung. Doch niemand kommt. Sind sie besiegt oder gar die letzten Überlebenden? (Weltkino)

A good surprise and an exception to the rule that sometimes it pays to go first to an unknown indie film. I commend the idea of a future world being flooded due to climate change and rising ocean levels, leaving only 2 mini-continents, North and South. These are mutually antagonistic and after years of fighting each other we follow an old base in the ocean with a group of four soldiers guarding the area and most importantly a bomb. There is palpable tension from the start and the constant musical score gives the film a very good atmosphere. The interactions and relationships between the characters gradually build up and although the film looks like sci-fi at first glance, it is in fact a full-bodied, dense and intense interpersonal drama. This also brings me to the downsides, because this whole dystopian background is a perfect idea in itself, but they completely bungled it and told us almost nothing about the "new world". Instead, they go on dialogue ruts for two whole hours, so those who want visual sci-fi should temper their expectations. That said, if it's purely about the quality of the dramatic component, I'm surprised and delighted, because in this case the two hours passed like water and I actually devoured this chatter to my heart's content. The ending opens the door for moral and ethical questions and polemics, but I personally expected a better denouement. Still, a decent above-average film that deserves attention.
