Pete Postlethwaite stars as an archivist living alone in the devastated future world of 2055, who spends his days looking at old footage from the years leading up to 2015, when a cataclysmic climate change took place. As he sifts through the relics of our lost and misguided civilisation, the archivist asks why Earth's inhabitants did nothing to reverse the effects of climate change while they still had the chance.
