“毕德曼慧星”正朝着地球飞奔而来,给人类致命一击。当局紧急行动,研究出一个最佳方案——由宇航员坦纳(罗伯特·杜瓦尔 Robert Duvall饰)驾驶“弥赛号”飞船飞往慧星,把预先准备好的核弹放置到慧星上面引爆,以令它化成碎片或是改变轨道。坦纳英勇地完成了任务,却发现并没有取得预期效果。慧星碎成了一大一小两部分,向地球步步逼近。当局迅速采取最后的行动,用“诺亚方舟”计划保住包括人类在内的一些地球物种。这是一个秘密的地下庇护所,只有少数的人可以在这里避开大劫难,等灾难散尽后方重建世界。较小的那部分慧星已经撞向地球,引发山崩地裂,一片世界末日的景象。而跟随其后的大慧星给地球带来的毁灭程度,将远远超乎人们想象,力挽狂澜的人类进入了倒数时刻。
Beautiful and raw combination of lyricism and realism in debut drama about a woman with cancer running to her gorgeous, polluted home island to face herself. When Noelia finds out that her cancer has spread, she sets aside the search for new procedures and abruptly goes from San Juan back to Vieques, the island where she grew up in southwest Puerto Rico. At home with her mother, in this place with which she is intimately tied (where the beaches are as marvelous as the sea is polluted, in the traces of US colonialism), she seeks her individual strength and takes part in environmental activism one last time. At the same time, a hurricane approaches. Glorimar Marrero Sánchez creates her own visual language in a film that tells us about disfigured bodies and land, and that both enchants and simplifies. A magnificent Isabel Rodriguez in the leading role gives Noelia dignity and an enormous power. And mediates that there is also a light in grief.
