ONE LAST ONE
When everything falls away, what remains?
A feature film about chosen family, survival and what we’re willing to do
for the people we love.
ONE LAST ONE takes place in a drought-ravaged world where water has become a precious commodity and survival has become a daily negotiation.
But this isn’t really a story about the post-apocalypse.
It’s about family.
About the people we choose when the structures we’ve depended on disappear.
About Loyalty. Forgiveness. Hope.
When the world ends, who do you refuse to leave behind?
“I guess you could call it ‘Inadvertent Autobiography’ — but it is thoroughly translated and transformed through the magic of Cinema.”
The Story
In a drought-ravaged wasteland, a family of outcasts discovers a body in a dried-up creek bed — and a secret that could change the fate of everyone around them.
As war, betrayal, and a mysterious prophecy close in, they must decide what they’re willing to sacrifice for one another.
A darkly funny, emotionally charged story about survival and chosen family.
