What would happen if we found out that a meteorite would destroy the Earth and humankind in a matter of 72 hours? The inhabitants of a small, remote town are terrified by this news as chaos, panic, and desperation spread across the world. A family with four children must withstand yet another threat, the revenge of a convicted criminal who has escaped from prison amid the confusion. The children’s uncle (Victor Clavijo), who had hope to spend three days away from the hysteria listening to his favorite music, is now obligated to protect them. This brilliant apocolyptic fantasy, winner of the 2008 Malaga Film Festival, is both an intelligent thriller and visually fascinating, an unusual Western and a social drama with a heart-racing pace. 

This film won the audience award at the 2008 Berlin Film Festival, and was selected for the European Film Academy Awards.
