O-bi, o-ba. The End of Civilization 1984

Synopsis

A vision of the world after a nuclear war with no winners. A concrete capsule gives shelter to eight hundred of hungry and sick people. They wait for a miraculous ark coming to their rescue, although it is just a myth created by the authority of the crypt. In reality, it has limited endurance and inevitably comes to an end. The community\'s days are numbered. Everyone passively awaits a miracle, even when the leaders disclaim the information about the arrival of the ark. The only person who can repair the capsule is the constructor, however, no one can find him. The construction of the ark like the one in the Bible also ends in failure. The capsule breaks. The crowd rushes towards the light, sharing the false belief that the miraculous ark has just come.
