In a shabby motel, two women clash over sun and sea while the world quietly nears its end.

Under a relentless sun, Charlie longs for the sea. Instead, she’s stuck guarding a shabby roadside motel with her cousin Jess, who barely stirs from her chair. The tension between them grows as they disagree on nearly everything, whether to lie stretched out in the sun or to go down to the sea. News of an imminent apocalypse blares from the radio, but the terrifying warnings are met with calm indifference, as if the end of the world were merely a distant detail. This unique watercolour 2-D film is for anyone who loves slow-burn tension and heatwave dreams with a hint of apocalypse.
