Warning: Spoilers
Post-apo genre is one of my favorites, so when I checked a short preview text for this movie I was really excited to watch it. Lots of very good, small productions do not reach the broader audience, which is a pity.

The construction of this movie, alternate between flash backs and the ongoing action pretty nicely builds up the plot and makes the movie enjoyable and intriguing to watch. It is all fine until the script writers / director decided to add to it a bit of 'spice', which made it look just silly.

The whole population of Barcelona has been stuck indoors for about 3 months.

Then the main protagonists meet in some church and fight a bear?

The population of a shopping mall, divided itself between floors and turned into some wild, blood hungry tribes? Using even camouflage paint?

After only 3 months of post-pandemic reality??

This was so ludicrous to watch that I found myself cringe and embarrassed. Cmon.... It seems to me the script writer was short on ideas and filled the gaps with this silly stuff.

Pitty, because overall the theme is very attractive and the proposed variant was interesting to explore.

I will surely never watch again, but despite the relatively low rating I give, it is still an enjoyable movie.
