Astraea

Running time: 93 mins

After the plague, an empty world where you make your own rules. Astraea, a quickly maturing teenager with clairvoyant visions, and her adult brother Matthew are traversing a lifeless continent after a plague has wiped out humanity. Car-by-abandoned- car, house-by-empty-house, they inch towards Nova Scotia in search of their family, who Astraea believes have survived. Their progress is interrupted by the discovery of fellow survivors James and Callie. Should the siblings push on, trusting Astraea's visions, or stay to make a new life with the flesh and blood before their eyes? A haunting ode to the small, quiet things easily eclipsed by our noisy, crowded world. - Pia Chamberlain
