In a post-apocalyptic London, following a nuclear war that has left the city in ruins, the absurd and surreal reality of its inhabitants unfolds in a hilarious and tragic manner. The plot follows a group of eccentric characters trying to survive in this new world where norms have disappeared. Among them is a man who has been transformed into a sofa due to radiation, a woman searching for her place amid the chaos, and an elderly man who constantly repeats phrases from the past.
As they navigate through the ruins of civilization, the characters deal with the absurdities of everyday life, such as food shortages and the quest for meaning in their lives. Amidst it all, comedy blends with criticism of war and dehumanization, showing how collective madness can become a form of survival.
Each interaction is a scene from a theater of the absurd, where rapid dialogues and subtle irony paint a darkly comic portrait of reality. As the characters face their own irrationalities, they struggle to find human connections in a world that seems to have forgotten what it truly means to be human. This piece of British cinema, full of wit and social critique, invites reflection on the future and the human condition in times of crisis.
