About: One day on his way to work, Ari, a childishly out-of-touch, divorced, and bereaved father, is offered magic ‘premonition beans’ that would allow him to see his fate. He initially declines and proceeds to his worthless office job, where he is warned about his inefficiency at work, prompting a comedically childish crash-out. On his way home, he is again offered the beans; he takes them this time and proceeds to dream of visions into the future and an upcoming nuclear holocaust. He awakens from these nightmares and grounds himself back in reality, proceeding back to work where he learns of his termination for his crash-out and inefficiency. Now connecting that his nightmares from the beans are coming true, he panics and attempts to flee the city. Failing to find his escape, he tries to convince his ex-wife, Juliet, to help him survive. She initially declines in disbelief of his outlandish theories, but instead takes him to the mountains, where they watch as the world ends.
