Logline

An absurd adventure with Cate Blanchett, Alicia Vikander, and many others.

Take seven world leaders and confront them with a global crisis. What do you get? A completely off-the-wall satire that’s even more impenetrable than the remote woods that these leaders get lost in. Gigantic brains, zombies, missing staff — anything’s possible here, just not meaningful cooperation.
