A post-apocalyptic science fiction. A total collapse of the civilized world leaves a part of Europe inhabitable. Small groups of people survive in safe zones which are separated from one another by belts of land where military technology, which has got entirely out of control, is creating lethal "traps". Only the "runners" are able to cross the dangerous territories. The fate of several people who have decided to find a safe place for a new life depends on one such runner. The film is a post-apocalyptic science fiction the atmosphere of which is extraordinarily suggestive. It authentically expresses the fears and hopes of today's inhabitants of Central Europe, and outlines the possible (and unfortunately relatively probable) consequences of the present-time civilization and political development of society - things which we suspect could happen, and which loom at the back of our minds as a vague threat.
