On a special day, three women find their lives turned upside down as strange explosions occur in the city and the northern lights appear in the sky.

The filmmaker - a multidisciplinary artist - delivers a second disturbing dystopian film. Developed over a period of three years prior to the pandemic, her screenplay resonates particularly with recent and brutal events: floods, tornadoes and other devastating fires. Between tension and mystery, three stories - three women caught up in their lives will be confronted with strange phenomena. Robot dogs, cameras, flawless security protocols abound in their retro-futuristic world, and yet... One day in the sky starts to glow with lightning, boreal lights and mysterious explosions. Everything around them begins to collapse - do they even realize it? Red alert!
