In a seemingly remote fishing village, the life of elderly widow Lilian is upended when an official informs her that she must leave her home to make way for a new road. This is the first sign of the "Movement," a network of fear and fascism that begins to envelop the country with the silent consent of its population. Together with Robinson, a mysterious retired businessman, Lilian chooses to flee, seeking the last two seats on the final flight to the distant and free Avalon. Their dramatic journey to the airport in a city shaken by a coup is reminiscent of a great action movie, reminding us that the worst of all authoritarian regimes can emerge even when everything, until the day before, seems perfectly normal.
