2026 Official Selection
When & Where
In a near-future world, enormous, enigmatic monoliths appear in the sky, periodically abducting large swathes of humanity in seemingly random events. No one can stop them, and society is divided: some believe these mysterious entities are divine forces of God, while others fear they are hostile extraterrestrials. As the next cycle begins, three men find themselves in a quiet, deserted, candlelit bar, grappling with their own fears and conflicting beliefs, searching for meaning in a world teetering on the edge of chaos.
