Two idiots wait for the apocalypse in a French village. Nothing happens. Everything happens.
It is December 20th, 2012, the eve of the "end of the world". Pascal drags morose Thomas to the Pyrenees and the village of Bugarach, which is meant to be the one place where human life will not altogether disappear. As their wait drags into idleness, they spend the night around a fire.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Bugarach was a real 2012 conspiracy hotspot—NASA even issued a statement debunking the 'alien garage' theory.
