Synopsis

Four chatroom members gather in a secluded cabin to commit suicide through the explosion of a giant firework ball. Their plan however goes awry as time keeps looping back to before the detonation. This narrative mechanism allows for an exploration of the characters’ motivations, and human nature in general, amidst a maelstrom of despair, but also of enduring hope.
