Personification explores what we hold on to when everything begins to slip away. Where will your mind wander when you know the end is near?
After losing its place in orbit, Earth is drifting toward a nameless planet. The collision is to occur this Tuesday at 9:37 a.m. There are three days left before the unescapable end of all life. Days that reveal the small, idiosyncratic details of existence as humanity grapples with its own harrowed mortality.
Angie honors Earth's final moments through the lens of a camera. Walter, frozen through existential crisis, racks his mind at home. To shield their sons from fear, Julie and Steve take them on a sailing trip. Doug races through the desert to reunite with his lover, while Jack, a murderer recently freed from prison, just needs to say he's sorry. Meanwhile, Max, an opulent business tycoon, questions whether his life's achievements ever truly mattered. And Savior, a blind homeless man, confuses his passing conversations to be a linear conversation with God, and without knowing how to do it, tries to appease his final task.
As these stories unfold, scientists Paul and Sarah are the last hope, the only ones still trying to save the day-unlocking something entirely unexpected. This story does not end well.
