About the show

Living out existence in an abandoned wind turbine high above an endless ocean, ultra tough Fenna (Braeckman) has become used to surviving alone in the aftermath of a climate catastrophe. But when a violent storm separates her from home, she embarks on an odyssey across the vast wetlands of a post-apocalyptic landscape. Along the way Fenna will encounter other survivors and rediscover connection, community and life before the end of the world. Resourcefully and beautifully shot in real Holland locations, debut director Thom Lunshof’s film is thoughtful and unsettling. A unique, compelling and urgent film for our times.
