The story of the film locates itself in a part of Michigan, USA where a pandemic has wiped out all existence, save for a lone survivor, our protagonist. The news has made it clear that he is supposed to wait indoors as a rescue team eventually reaches him. Left to his own devices, he has to now figure out a way to survive long enough, in time for them to be able to reach him. With this as the premise, the film allows its narrative to move forward. <br><br> The tone of Coro-Nah continues to progressively get more and more grave, while the lived reality of the protagonist acquires a certain darkness. As a result of the constant struggle to keep himself alive each day and not starve, the last remnants of food in his refrigerator have to be rationed. A sense of rottenness has already entered his existence, be it in the form of the stale food that has a direct consequences on his health, or the silent, quiet isolation that threatens to overpower him each passing moment. <br><br> Though there are a few wrinkles that could have been ironed to elevate the final product (a typo in an important news article or a little more seamlessness in the edit towards the conclusion), the film communicates its intentions simply by way of the action unfolding on screen, while being marked by a near-complete absence of dialogue. In the process, it strives for a comment on emotional disintegration and the impact of loneliness, emotional and physical isolation and being removed from a community and life we may have once simply accepted as the norm before our very own pandemic-hit reality.
