In a Dystopian future, you can still find time to dye your hair canary yellow! Who would have 'thunked' it! Just one of the many anachronisms...

Let's just say...it's a badly-acted mess.

"Equality and social justice will prevail over despotism, after a fratricidal struggle for survival"

In a dystopian future, with a social context influenced by various pandemics and with a political upheaval triggering reactionary governments, various young people hide on the outskirts of a city after looting a batch of vaccines. While the leaders of the group seek to sell them on the black market, the subjugated try to get their distribution among the marginal population who, like them, are deprived of vaccination. Tensions and discrimination based on sexuality or ethnicity soon arise in the group, reminiscent of past times, and that are the reflection of a society that has regressed. Desire and melancholy will mark characters stunned by a reality that is as fickle as unpredictable.
