Storyline

In a world that is increasingly dependent on electricity, a power outage seems like an awful predicament, as we can't imagine ourselves living in a world deprived of electricity. With this in mind, after a lingering power outage, a father and his two daughters will find themselves trapped in a completely different reality; one that will change their lives forever. But, is this outage regional, or does it affect the entire country? In the end--as these, and other, more crucial questions require an answer--no one can tell if the family has what it takes to survive; nonetheless, they will still have to put to the test their skills, their adaptability and endurance, but above all, find the courage to challenge the integrity of their familial bonds.

User Reviews

Eva, Eva, Eva, Eva!

80% of the plot is Eva! Eva! Eva? Eva?? I don't even remember the name of the other girl, cause she is always calling her sister for at least 50% of the movie. Logic is nowhere to be found. If you have nothing else to watch, go for Fox News or the last YouTube Top #5 instead.
