00:00In the future, Earth is contaminated, and survival is only possible in bunkers, but one guy decides to step outside.
00:09In 2149, nine years after a devastating chemical war, life on Earth was forever changed.
00:15Lakes and rivers dried up, governments collapsed, and billions of people lost their lives to the toxic air.
00:20The lucky few who managed to hide in specially designed bunkers survived.
00:23Darwin was one of them, but this new life was far from ideal.
00:27Like the other survivors, Darwin spent all his time glued to his computer.
00:30Every morning, an AI scanned Darwin's retina and then displayed information about his mother,
00:34who had long been in hibernation in another similar bunker.
00:37Darwin still held on to hope that his mother would someday respond.
00:40He left her an electronic message, apologizing for not being able to talk to her.
00:44As flashes of his childhood memories ran through his mind, the AI then suggested Darwin take a shower.
00:49Weakened by lack of physical activity, he struggled to get up from his chair.
00:53In just a few seconds, he took an ultrasonic shower before returning to his seat and getting back to work.
01:01After the war, all survivors were required to trade their shelter, food, and entertainment
01:06for remote labor mining rare minerals used to build more advanced bunkers for the government.
01:10After a while, the AI announces a 10-minute lunch break.
01:13A virtual hostess appears on the screen, offering various dishes,
01:16and Darwin orders fish sticks and chicken a la king.
01:19While he waits for his meal, the news plays on the screen.
01:22The report says that sensors still detect high contamination levels on the Earth's surface,
01:26so self-isolation remains mandatory.
01:28Finally, Darwin's food arrives through a special hatch, but within minutes, the break is over.
01:33He returns to his monotonous work, thinking about how he's drifting further and further away from his pre-war life.
01:38The meaningless existence in the bunker weighs heavily on him.
01:41The only escape for the survivors is playing computer games, which they're allowed to do after work.
01:45But even games can't fill the growing emptiness in Darwin's soul.
01:48Before bed, he checks on his mother once again, but she's still silent.
01:52He leans back in his chair and falls asleep, thinking of the past.
01:55He dreams over and over about the day he last saw his mother.
01:58She had to leave him all alone in the bunker, giving him a chance to live a longer life.
02:02The next morning, the AI wakes Darwin up again,
02:04and he faces another uneventful day in front of the computer screen.
02:07But suddenly, in the middle of his workday, Darwin hears a dog barking outside.
02:11It seems impossible, given that the Earth is contaminated and life shouldn't be able to survive.
02:16He turns the camera and spots a real dog, which someone quickly hides in the bushes.
02:22Darwin tries to make sense of what he just saw, but his virtual supervisor abruptly interrupts him,
02:26demanding that he turn the camera back to his work immediately.
02:29If he doesn't comply, he's warned that he could easily be replaced by someone else willing to do the job.
02:33That night, a storm started raging outside.
02:36Darwin wakes up to a loud clap of thunder and peers through the small window in the door.
02:40Suddenly, a lightning strike hits his bunker, knocking out the power.
02:43The AI immediately switches to the backup battery to keep life support running for a while.
02:48Darwin, panicking, slams the emergency call button, but no one outside responds to his pleas for help.
02:53Two days pass.
02:54The battery charge is rapidly draining, forcing the AI to shut down all systems except for air purification.
03:00Darwin nervously looks out the window, still clinging to the hope that help will arrive.
03:04As the final minutes tick down before the battery dies and the air filtration stops,
03:08he finally makes the decision to leave the bunker.
03:10He puts on a respirator and presses the door release button.
03:13But it's no use, it's not functioning.
03:15Struggling, he lifts the door manually.
03:17Darwin steps outside, managing just a few steps before his respirator signals a drop in oxygen levels.
03:22Terrified of the poisoned air, he rushes back to the bunker and tries to close the door, but it's jammed.
03:27At that very moment, the AI announces that the battery is fully drained,
03:31and all life support and air filtration systems have shut down.
03:34Darwin, realizing he's out of options, begins to accept his fate.
03:38But then, he notices something incredible.
03:40He can still breathe without the filtration system.
03:42Now, Darwin gathers the few essentials he can find and sets off on a mission to find his mother.
03:47He exits the shelter once more, his steps slow and unsteady,
03:50having not walked more than a few meters in the past nine years.
03:53His mind, still stuck at the emotional level of a child,
03:56struggles to process this nearly forgotten world that now feels so overwhelming and terrifying.
04:04Despite his fear, anxiety, and exhaustion, Darwin pushes forward,
04:09knowing that his old life in the bunker is no longer an option.
04:11After some time, he reaches a communication station and desperately tries to contact his mother,
04:16but his attempts are in vain.
04:17Darwin refuses to give up.
04:19For days, he trudges through abandoned sectors of the desolate land under the scorching sun,
04:23without food or water.
04:24One day, weekend and on the verge of collapse, Darwin hears the bark of the familiar dog.
04:29Turning around, he realizes he's arrived at the very spot where he used to do remote mining.
04:33The signs of life reignite a flicker of hope in him.
04:36Following the dog, he enters a dense green forest buzzing with insects.
04:39It becomes clear that life outside has been possible for quite some time.
04:43Exhausted, Darwin stumbles deeper into the forest before finally collapsing and falling asleep.
04:47The next morning, he's woken by the dog's barking and the hum of insects.
04:51As he regains his senses, he spots the dog nearby along with its owner,
04:55a girl named Dara, who warily asks who he is.
04:57After nine years of silence, Darwin has lost the ability to speak, leaving him unable to respond.
05:02Fearing that this mute stranger could be dangerous, Dara decides to leave, but Darwin rushes after her.
05:07Alarmed, Dara activates a homemade alert system to warn her family,
05:11who live with her in an illegal community outside the bunkers.
05:18Lillian, Dara's mother, immediately orders the younger children to hide
05:21and prepares herself to confront the unexpected visitor.
05:24Before long, Dara returns to the camp, and she and Lillian watch Darwin's cautious approach.
05:29They peck he's harmless but worry that the authorities might be looking for him,
05:32which could lead them to their hidden community.
05:34Despite their concerns, Lillian decides to offer shelter to the exhausted traveler
05:38and calls the children out from their hiding spots.
05:40But Darwin, still overwhelmed by fear, hesitates and keeps his distance.
05:44Lillian and Dara leave a piece of bread at a safe distance from the cabin,
05:47and Darwin devours it hungrily.
05:49Then they offer him a bowl of soup, each time setting it slightly closer.
05:52Slowly, Darwin begins to trust his new acquaintances and eventually sits down at the table with them.
05:57Curious about who he is and where he came from, Lillian and Dara try to communicate with him.
06:01Darwin signals that he can't speak because he's used to interacting only through his computer.
06:05Lillian notes that they don't have a computer, and, seeing that Darwin understands her,
06:09she invites him to stay the night in their cabin.
06:11Still visibly frightened, Darwin seems hesitant,
06:14so Lillian suggests they bring a mattress outside for him, which helps to calm him down a bit.
06:18As Darwin lies down, he thinks about how Lillian's family are the first people he's met in nine years and how,
06:23for the first time in a long while, he feels a sense of safety.
06:26Yet, he knows he can't stay with them for long, his priority is still finding his mother.
06:30The next morning at breakfast, Darwin tastes tea for the first time.
06:34While Lillian mentions that she wants to ask him some questions about his life,
06:37she gently asks Darwin to place his hands on the table as if typing on a keyboard,
06:41while her adopted son, Stephen, places his hands over Darwin's and reads out the answers.
06:45Darwin reluctantly agrees, and as Stephen interprets his story,
06:49Lillian's family learns that Darwin's bunker lost power during the storm and that his name is Darwin.
06:55During the day, Darwin watches the younger children play games.
06:58Soon, Dara approaches him and applies sunscreen to his face, explaining the rules of the game.
07:03Gradually, Darwin begins to feel more comfortable with his new companions and learns to trust them.
07:08In the evening, they use their unique method of communication again, and Darwin asks what happened to his mother.
07:13Dara, concerned, asks for clarification, and Darwin explains that he has been waiting since childhood for his mother to send help,
07:19but no one ever came for him.
07:21Dara assures him that they have no information about his mother and suggests that he rest a little longer before continuing his search.
07:26That night, Darwin has a terrifying dream where he finds his mother in the bunker,
07:30but suddenly he is chased by a police drone, which interrogates him about his whereabouts since leaving the shelter.
07:35He wakes up in a panic in the middle of the night, and Dara comes over to comfort him.
07:39In the morning, Darwin takes in the sight of a regular shower and, for the first time in many years, steps under running water.
07:45Soaking wet, he returns to Lillian's family, and they all laugh warmly at the sight of him taking a shower fully clothed.
07:51Dara rushes to help him, explaining how to shower properly, while Lillian brings him fresh clothes.
07:55After his wash, Darwin approaches Dara and Steven, who are working in the garden.
07:59Dara pauses her work to tell Darwin that he looks great, but their moment is suddenly interrupted by suspicious sounds coming from the forest.
08:09This worries Steven, but Dara reassures him that there's nothing to fear.
08:13She then asks Darwin if he truly wants to leave them right now, but he doesn't know how to respond.
08:17Dara begins teaching him common gestures and facial expressions for yes, no, and I don't know.
08:22After a bit of practice, Dara asks him again if he'd like to stay a little longer, and Darwin nods affirmatively.
08:27In the following days, Dara and Darwin spend more and more time together.
08:31She teaches her new friend various skills, such as planting seeds and drawing in the sand.
08:35More importantly, Darwin finally begins to speak.
08:38At first, he narrates each of his actions, but soon his speech becomes more confident.
08:42As they communicate, Darwin starts to experience a feeling he hasn't felt before.
08:46Infatuation.
08:47It's clear that Dara shares this budding connection.
08:50The family continues with their daily routines, and Darwin helps Lillian with household tasks.
08:54Meanwhile, a drone circles ominously overhead, threatening to shatter their newfound peace at any moment.
08:59One day, after lunch, they decide to have a dance party.
09:02Dara teaches Darwin the basic moves of the waltz, and he shows his friends some funny moves from video games.
09:08Afterward, Dara and Darwin take a walk in the forest.
09:10The girl notes that for someone who hasn't spoken in nine years, he's doing remarkably well,
09:15but he admits that his throat still hurts from the unfamiliar effort.
09:18Even though he could talk when he lived with his mother, Dara shares stories about her father,
09:21who was sent to live by the ocean at the start of the war,
09:24where he and others were supposed to create new families to help humanity rebuild.
09:27However, after chemical weapons were used, isolation became mandatory, and all the families were separated.
09:33Darwin's father faced a similar fate.
09:35One day, while the family is busy improving their cabin,
09:38one of Lillian's daughters, Beth, starts worrying that the police,
09:41who are surely searching for Darwin, will track them down.
09:44Lillian hopes everything will be fine,
09:46but Beth gets upset with her mother for prioritizing the fugitives' fate over their family's safety.
09:50That evening, they light a campfire, and Beth expresses her concerns again about being found.
09:55Lillian reminds everyone to stay cautious, as they are all criminals being hunted by the police.
09:59Finally, Darwin realizes that his presence in the camp threatens their quiet life.
10:03The next day, Darwin joins Lillian's family on his first trip to the river.
10:07Soon, he and Dara separate from the others and swim together,
10:10and then the girl takes him to the top of a mountain.
10:14Then they spend time talking while lying in the grass, gazing at the sky.
10:19Dara shares that once couples stayed together even after having children
10:22instead of splitting up to form new families.
10:24Darwin likes the idea of living with a loved one for a lifetime,
10:27and Dara remarks that first, one must find that special person.
10:31Dara also wonders whether their meeting was mere coincidence
10:33or if Darwin found their camp for a reason.
10:35Darwin is confident that everything happens for a purpose
10:38and shares how he had been operating a machine at the edge of the forest
10:40when he saw a dog and decided to follow it, ultimately leading him to their family.
10:44Suddenly, Dara confesses that she loves Darwin, and they share their first kiss.
10:48After a while, the family returns to their camp, singing.
10:51Stephen keeps a close watch for any danger as they cautiously cross the road.
10:55Meanwhile, Beth starts arguing with Dara and Stephen over trivial matters,
10:58causing her red scarf to slip from her braid.
11:01The scarf remains on the road,
11:02quickly catching the attention of a drone that begins to chase after Lillian's family.
11:06Suddenly, Stephen hears the telltale buzz of the drone and shouts for everyone to hide.
11:10In a panic, the family scatters and hides behind rocks, waiting out the danger.
11:14They are nearly given away by the youngest daughter, who suddenly stands up,
11:17but Lillian manages to make her crouch down.
11:19Fortunately, the drone does not spot the intruders and flies on.
11:23When the family returns home,
11:24Beth begins to complain that they can no longer live peacefully because of Darwin.
11:28Lillian acknowledges that they need to be cautious,
11:30but Beth insists that the drone got so close because it was tracking Darwin,
11:33meaning he needs to leave.
11:35Darwin reassures them that no one has been following him,
11:37and Lillian reminds them that they've faced dangerous situations before without him.
11:41However, for now, they should not leave the camp.
11:43That night, Dara decides to visit Darwin but finds his mattress empty.
11:47She searches for him outside and discovers he has made the decision to leave
11:50so as not to endanger their family.
11:52In tears, Dara tries to convince him to stay,
11:55assuring him they will find better hiding spots,
11:57but Darwin insists he cannot forgive himself if something happens to her and her family.
12:01Dara feels hurt, accusing Darwin of being like all men for planning to leave her,
12:05and she runs back into the house.
12:06The next day, Darwin bids farewell to Lillian's family,
12:09but Dara does not come out to see him.
12:11He thanks Lillian and tells her that he and his mother will create a similar camp,
12:14asking her to tell Dara that he loves her.
12:17Don't get caught.
12:19I won't.
12:20Dara cries alone in the forest, watching as Darwin walks away from their home.
12:24With renewed strength, the young man sets out to find his mother's bunker,
12:27located a two-day journey from the forest.
12:29Darwin traverses familiar but long-abandoned paths,
12:32hiding from the ever-present drones.
12:34Soon, he finds another communication station and tries to reach his mother again,
12:38this time using the key that Lillian gave him before he left.
12:40Fortunately, it works, and his mother accepts the connection request.
12:44Darwin informs her that he is safe and very close to her bunker.
12:47Once he arrives, he asks her to open the door and reassures her not to worry about the poisoned air,
12:51as it is actually safe.
12:53However, his mother is reluctant to meet him and instead presses the alarm button.
12:56A few minutes later, a drone flies to the bunker, demanding that Darwin confirm his identity.
13:01After scanning his retina, the drone asks him to explain why he left the bunker and where he has been all this time.
13:06Darwin quickly concocts a story, saying that he has been with his mother,
13:09who simply forgot to mention his presence.
13:11He also assures the drone that his mother pressed the alarm button upon hearing a strange rustling outside,
13:16which is why he came out of the bunker.
13:18This explanation satisfies the operator controlling the drone from another bunker,
13:21who seems to have no influence.
13:23He advises Darwin to be careful, wishes him a good day, and then directs the drone away.
13:27Darwin continues to plead with his mother to let him in,
13:30and finally, the door opens.
13:32He discovers that after 9 years of isolation, his mother has become wild and barely recognizes him.
13:37He explains that life outside the bunker is indeed possible, with clean air and bright sunlight.
13:41Darwin asks for permission to use her computer and hacks into the government archives.
13:45It turns out that numerous surveillance cameras captured his journey and his life with Lillian's family.
13:49Darwin is bewildered by how the police could have seen all this and not come for them,
13:53realizing that no one is actually watching them.
13:55Understanding that his mother has no interest in this new life,
13:58he says goodbye and kisses her farewell, finally managing to elicit a smile from the reclusive woman.
14:05Darwin realizes that his mother will remain in the bunker even after the collapse of the world government,
14:10just like thousands of other survivors.
14:12However, the rest of the people will finally be able to start a new life in freedom.
14:15Soon, the supervisor controlling the drone spots Darwin but refuses to follow the computer's commands and lets him go,
14:21planning to start a new life outside the bunker.
14:23Finally, Darwin returns to the forest, where he finds Dara sitting on the edge of a cliff.
14:28She cannot believe her happiness, as men who leave usually do not return.
14:32The couple kisses and looks forward to their new life together without the fear of being caught.
14:35Darwin fully integrates into Lillian's family, and together they remove the camouflage from their home,
14:40joyfully welcoming the long-awaited freedom.
14:42Which life would you choose?
14:44A stable existence in a bunker or a free yet challenging life in a new society?
