Bunker
, 2026
We are in the near future, when the temperatures have soared 5 degrees in France. For the past few years, Paul, CEO of one of the country’s leading petrochemical groups, has taken refuge with his daughter Ami, in the luxury bunker he’s built. From this lair he continues to manage his business remotely, aided by the neural implants he’s had added to his brain.
All would be well, except that Ami has recently decided not to speak anymore.
