In a hidden corner in the Swiss Alps, a man and his son Benny enjoy a vacation away from the distractions of modern life. After many days in connection with nature and learning about self-preservation, Benny begins to understand that this vacation is running longer than it was supposed to, and that his father has no intention of returning him to his mother, let alone civilization. Held captive in a cabin that was turned into a bunker, Benny faces an anguish that is less linked to the fear for his own safety than to witnessing the emotional collapse of his father, a man obsessed with defending his role of protector and with saving him from an impending climate apocalypse.
