Fifty years ago an altered and mutated infection spread. Global population plummeted by 60% in the first week, by various sources. Even more the week after. War against each other was put aside and a united front was established against the enemy. The mainland was wiped clean first, overpopulation and lack of resources and defenses were the fuel to the fire. Island countries managed to survive without effect for a long while. Iceland being the best case.
After the war of the dead had been declared a victory the rebuild began. Countries banded together to help each other, a united nation was in effect. Public holidays were no long a thing however. People no longer felt the need to celebrate public holidays that reminded them of the world that no longer existed. Even more so religious holidays were discarded. Christmas, Hanukkah, Ramadan, Easter, all were done away with. Except Halloween. A holiday that was re imagined as a celebration, a day of victory. The war was officially declared over on October 31st. So each year Iceland, who have emerged as the global super power, celebrate Halloween and Z-Day with “The ritual and The festival.”
Follow the events of two participants of the festival in the year 2070 as they try to compete and survive during this most famous night of terror.
