A love affair in the times of the apocalypse - an inexplicable epidemic causes people all over the world to gradually lose their sensory perceptions. As the catastrophe slowly unfolds, researcher Susan (Eva Green) and chef Michael (Ewan Mcgregor), both plagued by painful memories, find each other in Glasgow. Although the disease continues to spread and everyone has already lost their sense of smell and taste, life goes on. After a phase of disorientation, people adjust to the new situation. The relationship between the two lovers develops and becomes more and more intense. It is by no means only passion that holds them together. Each escalation of the epidemic is preceded by enormous emotional swings, and before the loss of hearing, an outburst of rage by Michael causes them to lose each other. Now the world seems to be descending into chaos. And there is the threat of something even worse: blindness. Will the two lovers find their way back to each other?
