Overview

In 2013, there are no highways, no I-ways, no dreams of a better tomorrow, only scattered survivors across what was once the United States. Into this apocalyptic wasteland comes an enigmatic drifter with a mule, a knack for Shakespeare, and something yet undiscovered: the power to inspire hope.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A sprawling post-apocalyptic fable about one drifter's unexpected power to restore faith in a broken world through words and belief in better days. It's a tender, quixotic film that moves at its own meditative pace, asking what it means to inspire when everything has fallen apart.
