Caution: cynic hard at work to kill every last glimmer of hope for mankind.

Grim pitch-black story about the end of days. The narrator, a pregnant woman, finds herself on a train plowing through a blood drenched landscape, away from whatever happened before, whoever is left behind and who knows what destination. All of this is not really relevant, because the film is a bleak contemplation on life, death and motherhood.

Films like this show that there's always new and innovative ways to make illustrated / animated stories. It can only be this focused when it's done with a minimal crew, it is almost a one-man show by John Bergin. A groovy mix of visual and auditive styles create a broiling nightmarish atmosphere of very little hope.
