Synopsis
Two of the most adored directors in Sitges join forces in this episodic feature film that fantasizes about three visions of the Apocalypse. In A Brave New World, an epidemic spreads causing those infected to gradually look more and more like a horde of zombies. The Heavenly Creature considers the possibility that Buddha may have been reincarnated as a robot. Finally, in Happy Birthday a girl’s wish takes the shape of a meteorite whose impact could destroy the planet. Science fiction garnished with humor for one of this season’s main attractions, rounded off by its formal virtuosity and an all-star Korean cinema cast.
