Storyline
In a cozy living room, a family desperately tries to maintain their Sunday routine while chaos erupts around them - furniture melting, winds howling, and environmental collapse knocking at their door. Meanwhile, above the Arctic Circle, three wildlife reporters with limited equipment attempt to document Earth's last remaining wild species. As tornadoes whirl dinner plates and a shark inexplicably swims through their flooded living room, we get to witness a brilliant display of human resilience bordering on denial.
