Logline

In a desolate, dangerous world, a young man must decide whether or not to trust the stranger he encounters in an abandoned house.

Synopsis

In the aftermath of an apocalyptic event, Oliver takes refuge in an abandoned house and seeks a quick end to his life. When Lonnie, a friendly stranger, breaks in, Oliver must reckon with his own mistrust and desire as he’s offered a chance for genuine connection with another human being. Until Death is a queer post-apocalyptic story about what it means – and how painful it is – to be alive.
