SYNOPSIS
50 years ago, a number of unknown structures fell upon our world, changing the skyline of the major cities of the planet. These starships, soon renamed as “The Rocks”, never showed any sign of life and were soon integrated as part of the urban growth to accompany the world’s social and economical development over the years. Years later, scientists would make an incredibile discovery: the rocks seemed to originate a signal from their interior. According to our time criteria this signal was codified as a countdown ponting at a specific day and time in the year 2058. Today, we experience the last hours of that “Last Day” through the eyes of two lovers, Sam and Lisa, desperately looking for each other again before the world that we know might end.

PITCH
What could be recalled as “The Last Day of Human Kind” has come.
This is at least what the end countdown from “The Rocks”, huge unknown structures that fell upon our planet 50 years ago, seems to suggest. Will Sam, a young videomaker from 2058, be able to find his lost love Lisa, few hours away from the end?
