Speaker 1 (00:00):
Imagine a world where there was a pandemic and people
turn into zombies, where we meet a man who gets
bitten and will have to find a new caretaker for
his baby before he turns into a zombie. The movie
begins when we see a houseboat on a river where
we meet Andy, his wife Kate, and their baby Rossy.
(00:20):
They are peacefully going along in their house when Andy
sees a family on the side of the river. Andy
goes out to greet them, but the father of the
other family, instead of returning the greeting, shows him a gun.
Because it turns out that in this movie, the world
has completely collapsed, a pandemic appeared and the infected turn
into zombies, so people are always alert to any danger.
(00:43):
The thing is with Andy's family, the food rations are
running out. Kate says they should go look for supplies,
but Andy says that it's better to stay sailing away
from danger. The next day, while sailing, Andy sees a
capsized sailboat in the distance. Without saying anything to his wife,
he goes into the boat and finds nothing more and
nothing less than some food, which turns out to be
(01:05):
very useful for his family. Andy goes to Kate and
gives her what he got. At first, she gets upset
that her husband took that risk without asking, but in
the end she tells him it was a good decision
and that since nothing happened, it's fine. Even A while later,
Kate also goes to the capsized boat to see if
she can find more supplies. While she's looking for supplies,
(01:25):
a zombie suddenly appears and attacks her. Meanwhile, Andy on
the houseboat was calmly taking care of Rosy, but he's
surprised when he sees blood on the floor. We see
that Kate, who managed to escape, is locked in the
bathroom trying to treat the wound that the zombie gave her.
In this world, a person who is bitten has forty
eight hours to get far from their family because they
(01:48):
will end up turning into a zombie. But Andy, still
having hope, decides to take Kate to a hospital that
appears on the map. They get off the houseboat and
fortunately find a car with gas, keys and everything. The
bad thing is that before they leave, a zombie approaches
to eat them, but they still manage to escape. A
(02:08):
while later, while driving, the couple stops the car to
change Rosy's diaper. Kate is doing it, and everything seems
in order until she starts having seizures on the ground.
For now, it's just a seizure. Kate tells Andy not
to go to the hospital anymore, that she's already a
lost cause and just a danger to him and Rosie,
that it's better to leave her there to die. But
(02:29):
Andy flat out refuses, and by force he gets Kate
into the car and starts it up toward the hospital.
The bad thing is that just on the road a
zombie appears, and Andy, instead of running it over, decides
to crash the car into a tree. Help me reach

(02:52):
we are about to achieve it. Thank you very much
in advance, Let's continue. Andy ends up fainting after the
crack and wakes up to the cries of the baby.
He looks at his wife and she is already more transformed,
and not only that, but she bites Andy on the arm.
Then we see that he takes his baby out of
the car, places her on the ground, and so that
(03:14):
his wife doesn't fully turn, he goes back into the
car and twists her neck. He also puts a watch
on his arm with a forty eight hour countdown, and
since the car was left unusable, Andy begins walking toward
a hospital on foot with his daughter on his back.
But before that, he comes across the zombie that was
on the road responsible for the car crash, who we
(03:37):
see is gagged because it turns out that since he
turned his daughter named Toomey, has been taking care of
him so he doesn't get killed, and gagged him so
he wouldn't eat people well. Andy walks a long distance
and manages to reach the hospital on the map. Too bad.
The hospital is almost abandoned and there's only a lady
named Itta who takes care of everything there. She receives
(04:01):
Andy and his baby kindly and gives them food and
a bed, but she can't cure him since the infection
has no treatment. Later, we see that Andy has his
first attack. For now, it's just the beginning of his symptoms.
So the next day, Andy wakes up and goes to Eta,
who is taking care of Rosie. She tells him that
since time is running out for him, it's best for
(04:23):
Andy to take his baby to a guy who belonged
to a nearby tribe, so the girl at least has
a chance to live. The guy Andy has to look
for is the gagged zombie from earlier, the one his
daughter is taking care of. Andy walks long distances when
he finds a small truck with gas and keys, but
the truck is not alone because the owner is nearby,
(04:43):
but trapped between some oxygen tanks. The owner's name is Vic,
and he offers to help Andy in exchange for being
freed from the tanks. Andy agrees, and Vic takes them
to a house with bars around it. The place offers
some security, and also Vic's girl friend, Lorraine is there,
who we see doesn't really love Vic. In fact, it
(05:04):
seems like something strange is going on there. Vic tells
Andy that he and his baby can stay there, but
in return Andy has to help him with whatever he asks.
So they both leave in a pickup truck and arrive
at a kind of cage with many zombies around. Vic
teaches Andy how to shoot a shotgun to kill the zombies.
The bad part is that we realized the bait was Toomy,
(05:26):
the girl from earlier, who belongs to a tribe from
around there. Then both of them also go to another
cage on the other side, and we see that in
that cage the bait was an old man, the wise
leader of the Toomey tribe. Anyway, Vic and Andy return
home finishing the tasks of the day. Everyone goes to bed,
and Andy walks away with the intention of taking his
(05:47):
own life. He's about to do it when Lorraine approaches
and tells him not to that if he does, he
will leave his baby in bad hands because Vic is
a crazy psychopath who killed her boyfriend and kidnapped her.
So Andy tells her that in that case, the option
is to run away to a family he saw on
the river who might still be alive. The bad thing
(06:08):
is that Vic arrives at that moment, and, having heard everything,
knocks Andy unconscious and locks him in one of the
cages he uses as bait, exactly the same cage where
Toomey is locked up. Andy apologizes to the girl for
not helping her earlier, and together they make a plan
to escape that fortunately ends up working. They both go
to Lorraine and Rosie to save them from Vic. They
(06:31):
are escaping, but Vic senses them and starts chasing them.
Lorraine tries to calm Vic down, but he ends up
shooting her by accident. Well, the thing is that Andy, Toomey,
and Rosie managed to escape. Vic chases them but doesn't
catch up to them. The trio walks along distance toward
the river. Toomey confesses to Andy that she is looking
for the wise leader of her tribe to see if
(06:53):
he can heal her father, because, according to her, he
thinks that his soul just left his body and that's
why he is the way he is. And speaking of
Toomey's father, she steps off the path to go check
on him because she had left him locked up. The
bad thing is that she now finds her father dead.
She feels guilty for not bringing the wise man in
time and no longer wants to go with Andy to
(07:14):
the river, so Andy continues the journey without her. He
wants a few steps when he has one of his
attacks while Toomey was saying goodbye to her father when
she hears Rosie crying, so he decides to go, and
when Andy wakes up from the attack, he tells him
that he'll help him get to the river. They both
walk a long distance, travel a long way by boat,
and arrive at the place where Andy saw the family
(07:36):
at the beginning. The bad thing is that they only
find an empty RV with fresh food. Andy goes out
to look for the family to see if they're nearby,
and surprisingly he finds them. Only there's something strange. The
father of the family is digging a hole in the
ground because it turns out he was bitten and is
going to kill himself along with his whole family so
they won't suffer. The guy asks Andy to help him
(07:58):
with that, but since Andy doesn't want to, he leaves
and ends up just hearing gunshots, meaning that whole family died.
Andy picks up the guy's gun and starts talking to Toomey,
who tells him that if he wants, he can leave
his baby with his tribe, and since Andy has no
other choice and his time is running out, he says okay.
They both start walking through some tunnels to take a
(08:19):
short cut, when suddenly Vic shows up, who had been
looking for them. Andy fights and fights, but ends up
getting mocked out by Vick, who then also hits Toomey
hard on the head and leaves her unconscious, then keeps
Rosy as a trophy of his revenge or something like that. Later,
Andy wakes up and sees Toomey seriously injured and then
goes to Vic, who also turns out to have been bitten.
(08:41):
Vic just starts crying and Andy takes his baby without
much trouble, so Andy leaves Vic crying there and goes
with Toomey and his baby toward the tribe. They both
walk a long walk when Andy starts having another seizure
and we see that he's starting to turn with aggressive impulses,
so he makes a plan with Toomey to use Andy's
is a means of transportation, and that's how Toomey and
(09:03):
Rosie arrive galloping to the tribe. On top of Andy
now fully turned into a zombie. Her mother receives Toomey
and Andy ends up getting killed, and everything indicates that
Rosie will have a promising future because we see that
in the tribe they know how to protect themselves from
the zombies. More videos created for you on screen. If
