The end of the world - not only the Christian faith, but also filmmakers have always been fascinated by a possible apocalypse. Apparently also the Brandls, because now there is also from them a contribution to it. Whereby it concerns - as with the end time film typically - naturally not a world end per se. Our beautiful blue planet is preserved, only mankind is not. Except for a few exceptions. A deadly virus is the reason for the extinction of almost the entire world population. But not alone, because in the chaos of doom, to make matters worse, the machines also turn against their creators. Androids, which were actually created to support humanity and are used in almost all areas of society, now see Homo sapiens as a threat that must be destroyed.

For decades, two 70-year-old Swiss ladies have been walking and talking with each other. In summertime, their daily ritual is to swim down the river that flows through their home town. As the current carries them down the river, they meditate on friendship, love, and becoming older. What will it be like to have to live without one's partner after three decades together? They ponder the unthinkable: what will either of them do if the other passes away? Their lives are so interwoven after decades together that it's hard to imagine. We see them both literally and figuratively floating down the river of life together in this moving short documentary.
