Parabellum

August 29, 2017 - 8 pm @ IL Kino.

Hernán, a middle-aged geologist working at a public investigation center, arrives with a group of strangers to an isolated hotel resort in the Delta area of Tigre, a labyrinth of small islands surrounded by streams and rivers. Amongst housewives and professionals, Hernán is part of a middle-class community that has left their comfortable lives of suburban Buenos Aires. Together, they train, following strict guidelines for what seems to be the impending arrival of the end of the world.
