Humanity really doesn’t do all that well when it comes to aliens appearing unheralded in our skies.
We’re either slaughtered, herded, bombed, or in the case of short film, At the End, offered sanctuary by a fleet of alien ships from a supernova that will engulf and destroy Earth.
Wait a second, that’s last option actually sounds pretty good!
Oh did I mention that in exchange for the aliens going all Mother Theresa on our collective arse that we must become their slaves in perpetuity?
Not looking so good now is it?
This galactic Sophie’s Choice naturally divides the good, rarely-fractious people of Earth into the those who wish to die free and those who are willing to trade liberty for life.
The film centres on one couple in particular, Madeline and Garrison, both doctors, who decide the trade-of is more than worthwhile.
What would you choose?
