Synopsis

In the middle of an apocalyptic America, a heavy-driving movie buff and a guitar-playing popcorn machine operator find themselves alone in a deserted movie theatre. As Tim takes every precaution to make sure he is sanitized to the max, Abby reflects on the end of The Philadelphia Story playing out before them and her own limited movie career.
