In a dystopian future where the United States has fallen into economic ruin and energy is a luxury few can afford, desperation takes hold of the nation. With the country on the brink of collapse, a group of misfits and dreamers come together to organize an unusual charity event: a 24-hour television marathon. The idea is to raise the necessary funds to save the country from total bankruptcy and confront the threat of a dictator ready to exploit the chaos.

The event promises to be a blend of comedy, music, and pure madness, featuring an ensemble of quirky characters ranging from a frustrated former singer to a passionate, energetic young idealist. Meanwhile, surreal and absurd situations unfold, including unexpected celebrity interventions and extravagant musical numbers, bringing this satire of consumerism and media culture to life.

As the marathon progresses, the protagonists must confront their own demons and doubts, questioning their values while trying to keep hope alive. In the end, it’s not just about saving the country but rediscovering what it truly means to be part of a community. With an optimistic message amidst the chaos, this film is a visual feast that encourages reflection on the future of society and the importance of unity in difficult times.
