Synopsis
In a dystopian future, influenced by pandemics and reactionary governments, various young people flee after looting a batch of vaccines. While some seek to sell them on the black market, others plot their distribution among the marginalized population.
Tensions and discrimination based on sexual or ethnic condition soon arise, reminiscent of times gone by.
