This allegorical, retro-futuristic film takes us into
a society whose scientists are trying to find cure
against ageing of the human body. During the search,
something goes terribly wrong: a noxious gas that
actually accelerates the ageing process escapes, calling
for massive evacuation via airships. In an attempt
for survival, a young couple get separated during the
embarkation.
