After Us, the Flood

After Us, the Flood (Jälkeemme vedenpaisumus, 2024) is a Finnish-Latvian sci-fi drama you can watch online on iFILM. By 2064 the climate has crossed the point of no return, and humanity's only hope is to wind time itself backward.

Years earlier, the gifted young physicist Henrik and his fellow students built a fusion reactor that promised the Earth endless clean energy. Then it was sold off for profit, the fallout for the planet turned devastating, and now the world is drowning in that choice. The UN lands on a near-mad solution: a technology that can send a person's memories and personality back to the moment of their own birth. Henrik is returned to the past to destroy the very thing he created. But something misfires, and he has to begin the mission from a starting point nothing like the one he expected.

Director Arto Halonen isn't after spectacle — this is a quiet drama about a scientist's guilt and responsibility, asking whether you can fix the future by erasing your own achievement, and whether you have the right to. Nordic science fiction with no blockbuster gloss, betting on its idea and its ethics instead of effects. Stream After Us, the Flood (2024) online on iFILM.
