一家四口避走瘟疫肆虐的市鎮，回到鄉間的小屋，大門一開卻發現房子早被陌生人霸佔，瞬息間形勢急轉直下：丈夫突然被槍殺，妻子孩子哭著被惡霸驅逐返回巿鎮。母子三人向鄉間小路走去，只見屍橫遍野，世界一片荒涼。苦候那一列火車尚未到站，遇上一班為拯救人類奉獻自己的宗教義士，最後連兒子也甘願走進火海犧牲受祭。沒有荷里活式動地崩天的災難場面，但誰不知自己在看的是齣災難片？漢尼卡不用災難當成消費品，高明地以簡約冷峻的手法，進入人物的內心世界，反思大災難面前，道德、文明、尊嚴等永恆價值是否隨之而崩裂，讓人久久不能平復。

The film’s title is drawn apparently from an ancient Germanic poem, describing the time before the end of the world. Yet in making his fable about a nameless Western society where traditional ‘civilisation’ has collapsed, Haneke steers clear of traditional disaster movies and their pyrotechnic spectacles. He chooses to focus on a traumatised mother Anne and her two young children, and their efforts to survive. It does not take long to figure out that the fantasy of last-minute rescue that hovers over most disaster movies is unlikely to be fulfilled here. It is, ultimately, a moral horror story intended to shame privileged Western viewers into recognizing that, the conditions endured by Anne and her children are not science fiction but daily reality.
