Synopsis

Apocalypse is a dark fairy tale about loneliness. It combines 3D animation with live action footage. Maurice and Susie live together in a tower block infested with surreal pigeons. 30 year old Maurice, is a neurotic who hates the birds, because their cooing makes him insomniac. His junkie girlfriend Susie, 25 desperately needs a change in her life. An egg hatches on their balcony – the baby pigeon claims to be the reincarnation of Maurice’s mother. She warns the young couple to start looking into each other’s eyes, or else they will die. Susie believes the bird, but Maurice wants to kill it instead. Are they going to find a way to find happiness?
