change up the place a bit.

Wait, uh...

Babe, wait a second.

Oh god.

My god, there's

nothing left.

Exactly. There's no

need to be here.

Let's go, please.

Just turn around.

We'll find some flowers.

This is what we needed.

Just a change of scenery.

I mean, the city's no

place for us right now.

We're pioneers here. We don't

need all those complications.

Man has been happy for thousands

of years without all that stuff.

Just come out here

where the air is fresh

and everything's simple.

Simple.

Of course that means no

more gingerbread lattes.

I'll survive.

We got enough food

for the weekend.

It's gonna be a nice

little uh, little getaway.

Let's find a spot.

Beautiful.

There's a fireplace.

Yeah.

Wood stove.

I'll go get some wood.

I mean, you can't beat that.

Sir?

Sir.

Sir, are you okay?

Are you okay?

Do you speak English?

May I have some water?

Yes, of course. Can you

get him water, please?

My name is Riley.

My name is Nance.

Do you have any food?

Of course.

We have plenty of food.

How long have

you been here?

Oh, thank you.

How long have you been here?

Oh, geez.

Okay, okay, okay.

You're alright,

you're alright.

Come on.

Alright.

Let's get some food.

Here, come sit here.

We thought we were alone.

So...

There is no one else.

You found no one.

Just you.

Are you alone here?

When everyone disappeared,

i left the city.

I thought if the world is

going to end, I will come

here where shortly

I'll join them.

Were you in Iceland

when it happened?

Is this your place?

This is my cabin.

But in previous life

i was a fisherman.

What have you been doing?

I made my bed.

Well you don't have to

join your family just yet.

I mean, we're here.

We can stick together.

We can survive.

Can we get him water?

Here, here, here.

Drink this.

I'm just so glad

that I found you.

I thought, I thought

god abandoned us.

They say that god only...

He just must have more

to say these days.

Well it's still good to

know that we're not alone.

We hadn't been alone.

It's worse.

You and I.

Well Jesus Christ, I mean,

that's not very helpful.

Alright?

There's three of us now.

There is one and one and one.

We each occupy our

own distinct space.

It's worse alone on the sea.

I don't get why...

It doesn't make any sense.

Why are you so

determined to give up?

What brought you here?

Uh, we were on vacation.

My first time overseas.

I've been here

all my life.

I spent time in the

isles, years ago,

but the sun has always set

on the western shore for me.

I miss my family.

The welsh have a word.

Hera.

Grief for a home

you cannot return.

And as a young man, I left

my wife and my young son

to make my living.

I was on the seas for months.

When I returned,

nothing was the same.

My son was a young lad and

my wife was not the woman

I had left.

I sat in my own home

and did not belong.

She left you?

She didn't need to.

She was already absent.

But soon I spent more and

more time on the sea.

There was nothing

you could do?

How is that fair?

The world is the world.

You cannot fault it for

not behaving as you

believe it should.

So you don't believe that

we've been led here to

find each other?

We do not factor

in the will of god.

His plan for us to exist

in the world he has

created for us not to

exist in his world.

What if that's true then?

We really are on our own.

There's another

meaning of hera.

Longing for a

foregone home.

Perhaps a home

that never was.

And none of it matters.

Even if god exists,

he's forsaken us.

You, human, go forth.

And in the end the question of

our context is inconsequential.

If there is a design we

are foregone to fit within it.

And if there is no design,

we are alone in our keep

and no ground

will hold us.

It's time to wake up.

Do you want me to make

you guys some tea?

He um...

He didn't make it.

There's a cemetery

down by the lake.

I already picked

a spot for him.

What are we doing?

We're burying him

with his family.

Is this his family?

Have they missed him?

Will they welcome him now?

Yeah, you're not

making any sense.

Talk to me.

I don't know what

you're talking about.

What's the point

of burying him?

Laying here,

six feet under.

What's the difference?

This is what we do.

We bury the dead.

None of this

makes any sense.

What doesn't

make any sense?

Why was he here?

I don't know.

There has to be

someone else.

Another...

Old man, or a woman, or a

child that may need our help.

It's been weeks.

We haven't seen anybody.

But have we really

been looking?

Please help me.

It can't just be us.

Hello?

Hello?

You've been busy.

Here.

Um...

What uh...

What are you doing?

If there's someone out there,

we need to find them.

You're not looking for the

living, you're marking the dead.

Will you just come home?

Baby, we can work

on this together.

There's no home here.

You, me, nails.

That's it.

You don't know, we could

be a statistical anomaly.

Baby, we could be the world's

last rounding error.

Alright? You're looking for

answers where there aren't any--

you're damn right I'm

looking for answers!

You have this insane

situation and what,

you think it's some

celestial mistake?

I'm not saying that

it's a mistake.

I'm just saying it

doesn't really matter.

Is this gonna change the

way that you live your life?

Does it have to?

Is it gonna change

who you are?

None of this

makes any sense.

No, it doesn't

make any sense.

But it doesn't matter.

We can still

live a good life.

I don't even know what

that is anymore.

Keep your

eyes on me, okay?

Oop, oop, oop!

Alright, don't look.

Why?

It's beautiful.

Do you remember that

glacier you took me to?

Do you remember the water?

This is that water.

When the ice melts, it

cuts through the base and

it creates this river.

The glacier slides a little

further, it refreezes, it...

It's just this

constant cycle.

Life is resetting,

it's reinventing.

Jenai, it's trying.

Okay?

I mean, this place is

beautiful because of all that.

There is no tomorrow here.

There is no yesterday.

There is just this

moment right here--

stop.

I am trying.

This is the last

of the water

so we'll have to get

some more tomorrow.

I wanna thank

you for today.

Yeah.

We're gonna be okay.

Morning.

Jenai!
