From his mother's songs to his clash with Goliath, David's journey from humble shepherd to anointed ...

Facing a long winter of lockdown and combating a bad case of writer’s block, filmmaker Eric agrees to get a dog with his girlfriend Allie. A modern couple – vegan, ethical, millennial, neurotic – much research and negotiation leads to the arrival of Milly, a rescue from the Dominican Republic. This sets off a riotous chain of new challenges on how to best deal with this addition to the household. As Eric contends with a sinister dog-training programme, his introspection spills out onto his film work, with poor Allie and Milly taken along for the ride. The couple each pursue their own deepheld individual questions surrounding trust, purpose and roots, while wrestling with the idea of what it means to be a modern family. Milly, in the meantime, has a lot on her paws with these two!
　　Part rom-com, part rescue-dog story, part autofiction, part self-indictment, part family scrapbook, this debut feature was made with remarkable economy and displays a disquieting amount of (often hilarious) emotional authenticity. Filmmaker Ben Petrie and creative collaborator Grace Glowicki play the young couple and in doing so, capture nothing less than what it means to be human.

《荒蛮故事》是一部黑色喜剧，由6个独立的暴力复仇小故事构成。影片是一次对于人类失控行径的颠覆性创作，从怪异的幽默感，独特的画面和大胆的配乐，到对于身处绝境的普通人这一题材的偏爱，都可以清晰地看到南美鬼才导演达米安·斯兹弗隆与阿莫多瓦在创作方面的相似之处。不过，斯兹弗隆仍然通过这部影片发出了自己独特的声音：一场对于一个腐败成风、经济和社会严重不平等的社会的尖锐抨击。

故事主轴以马雅人的2012/12/21末日预言贯穿。末日不如预言发生，但是贪婪的人类对自然和社会的无度需索，予取予求，终于有一天新能源厂事故，造就人类自食恶果，文明毁灭。\r　　以小男孩找到一把吉他作故事的开端，和爷爷在人类亲手造成的末日前夕相逢。\r　　爷爷想着自己不会弹吉他而错过了某些人生与爱情，打电话给过去的自己，希望改变这个过去的事实，进而改变生命，让走到末路的人类文明起死回生。\r　　“诺亚方舟”演唱会共以五大主题串联，从“末日：2012不是预言”、“留恋：时光静止的那一年”、“笑忘：如果还有明天”、“第一天：追寻第二人生”到“未来：美丽乌托邦”，其中呈现了逼真末日景象，包括仿佛沉睡海底等待启航的深海逃生舱，加上不断出现火山爆发、陨石撞击和龙卷风来袭的末日异象。这一切都旨在把大家对于末日的恐惧在一瞬间全部逼迫出来，同时五月天更要带领观众抛开恐惧和悲伤，用欢乐与音乐享受末日前夕的最后一夜。\r　　如果2012年玛雅末世预言成真，在这看似最后倒数的生命关头，我们该如何面对我们各自的人生？如果最后末日没有到来，你就有机会选择你的“第二人生”！
