The trailer sees Carol flip through news channels on her TV, each discussing the impending apocalypse. “Does your dog know it’s the end of the world?” one anchor asks. Other anchors cite “massive job walk offs, making work a thing of the past” over images of people throwing cash into a bonfire and stock market bell ringing for the last time ever. As people all over the world celebrate the freedom that the end of the world gives them, Carol microwaves a TV dinner and says, “I don’t really know what I want. Everyone’s got all of these plans, and I…” she trails off.
