Hell

In a sun‑blasted version of 2016 Germany, daylight has become a lethal force, turning the landscape into a cracked, barren wasteland where water is a whispered legend and every breath feels borrowed. The world is a harsh tableau of scorched ruins, rusted vehicles and makeshift shelters, its silence broken only by the occasional creak of metal and the distant howl of wind‑bent debris. Survival hinges on ingenuity and a willingness to confront the constant, oppressive heat, creating a mood that is simultaneously stark and oddly beautiful, as the harsh light casts long, wavering shadows over a world that has forgotten normalcy.

The story follows three weary travelers: Marie, a determined sister carrying the weight of responsibility; her younger sibling Leonie, whose innocence flickers amid the desolation; and their pragmatic companion Phillip, whose dry humor masks a deeper resolve. Together they navigate the scorched highways in a battered Volvo, its windows shielded by mesh to keep the sun’s glare at bay, all while scavenging for the scarce resources that keep them moving toward a rumor of water hidden in the mountains. Their dynamic balances the protective instinct of the sisters with Phillip’s steady practicality, forming a fragile alliance forged by necessity.

Along the road they encounter Tom, a skilled mechanic whose expertise could mean the difference between motion and stasis. Yet his arrival introduces an undercurrent of mistrust, as the group must decide how far to extend trust in a world where alliances are as fragile as the cracked earth beneath them. The journey becomes a study in tension and hope, a relentless trek across a sun‑scorched realm where each mile holds the promise of salvation and the threat of further hardship.
