Synopsis
God, disillusioned with humanity’s ruinous impact on Earth, decides to wipe out mankind once and for all. Surprisingly, Satan is the only one who opposes this apocalyptic plan—not out of benevolence, but because without humans, he’d be out of a job. In a darkly comedic twist, Satan discovers two young people he believes could serve as a new Adam and Eve, attempting to convince God to spare humanity by rebooting it with this pair. Packed with Terry Gilliam’s signature surreal humor and visual flair, the film promises a provocative take on religion, the end of the world, and the absurdity of existence.
