The Islands

Tanya, Tim and little Ros, are staying at an idyllic holiday home in the middle of the forest. They rented it for one week but have already stayed for many more. Something happened that made them take refuge in the house where they came as tourists. They try to find a new rhythm, although the outside world is creeping closer and closer. They already lost water and electricity, expecting cell-reception to go next. The family is down to their last power bank and their electric car is almost out of battery. When Tim and Tanya start to ration their remaining food, they both realize a choice must be made. To stay there or go to town? Should they split up the family to protect the family?
