A meteorite is about to collide with Earth and the planet is gripped by despair and chaos. The inhabitants of the little town of Laguna listen to the news in terror. Ale decides to spend his last days shut away, getting drunk and listening to his favorite music. But his plans change when he is forced to help his mother and protect his brother’s four children. Then an ambiguous, disturbing stranger appears.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of a wave of Spanish apocalypse films examining national anxieties through intimate family drama rather than spectacle.
The meteor is almost irrelevant — Gutiérrez uses it as pressure to reveal who these people already were. The real collision is Ale versus himself.
