- Alone: Deep Space: Engineer Kaya Torres (Steph Barkley) is marooned in a
rescue pod niear a black hole, with the pod holding just enough
power to withstand the black hole's gravity. Then unexpectedly,
she receives a radio call from a cartologist called Hammer (Thomas

and over the radio, the two become quick friends. But then, Kaya
is shocked to find out where Hammer's actually calling from ...

her ...
- Lunatique: Earth is a ravaged planet, and she (Lila
Guimarćes) is one of the few human survivors of whatever has happened.
So every night she steels her body to during the day go out
salvaging whatever she might need for survival, armed to the
teeth. But there are other creatures out there who want to survive
as well ...

A nice collection of science fiction shorts from all over the world,
and even if not all of them strictly deal with the apocalypse as such,
they all have a dystopian touch to them, and honestly said might not be
the films most likely to lift one's mood - but that's more in theme than
execution, as they're all well-written, look pretty polished and feature
fine ensemble casts, making this a sci-fi anthology well worth a look.
