00:00In a world where people are judged by what they own, the rich are treated like gods.
00:04Fancy cars, flashy jewelry, expensive clothes, and exclusive parties are all part of the daily show.
00:10In the middle of all this is Laura Palmer, a successful woman in the film industry who knows
00:14how to play the game. She spends most of her time sitting through endless pitch meetings where
00:18writers throw around big ideas that rarely go anywhere. Most of the scripts are boring,
00:23but she smiles, nods, and pretends to care. At one of these events, Laura is approached by her
00:28estranged husband, Tony. He's a screenwriter too, but these days he's struggling due to alcohol
00:34addiction. Tony's script starts off like any other, but as he speaks, Laura realizes it's actually about
00:39them. He mentions their messy past and the breakdown of their marriage. It is evident that Tony is still
00:44dealing with depression and trying to stay clean from alcohol. He asks Laura if she remembered their
00:50daughter Anna's birthday. Laura lies and says yes, but the truth is she forgot. So, the moment the
00:55meeting ends, Laura tells her assistant, Christian, to get a cake for Anna. Shortly after, a woman named
01:00Alba shows up. She is none other than Laura's rival, who is sharp, confident, and always ready to
01:06compete. She casually mentions that billionaire Snail has landed nearby in his private jet. He's
01:11about to pick someone for a major new project, and Alba's sure she's the one. Laura plays it cool
01:16but immediately makes her way to the reception, where press and guests are everywhere. She finds Snail's son,
01:21Sebastian, and tries to get information out of him. But instead of helping, he mocks her for
01:26wearing an old watch, and talks about how rich people keep dying lately, including two major
01:31billionaires. While ranting about the behavior of powerful old men, he accidentally lets slip that
01:37Alba has already been chosen for Snail's project. The news hits hard, but Laura is forced to smile for
01:42the cameras. She then returns to the party and acts like nothing happened. When she finally gets a quiet
01:47moment with Alba, Laura puts on a smile and offers congratulations, saying that if someone had to
01:53get the job, she's glad it was her. In response, Alba says that women should support each other in
01:58this industry. She tries to keep things friendly, and Laura does the same. That night, Alba has to
02:03present a film at a big event but admits she hasn't watched it. Laura offers to help and gives her a
02:08quick summary of the film. However, when Alba repeats it in front of the crowd, she completely
02:12embarrasses herself as it turns out to be the wrong story. Laura watches it go down from afar,
02:18satisfied with her revenge. In the next scene, Laura gets in the car with Christian, and she soon
02:22gets a call from Tony, who is stuck at the airport. There's chaos in the background, and he reveals
02:28that for some reason, an overwhelming number of people have booked their flights today. He tries to
02:32say more but the call unexpectedly ends. Christian then checks the news and learns that the Pope has
02:37died, marking the third major figure to die in just a few days. Soon after, Laura is shockingly
02:42told that Alba has been dropped from Snail's project. The billionaire has now decided to
02:47offer the position to Laura instead. Seeing the opportunity, she calls Tony again and asks
02:51him to cover for her at Anna's birthday. Following this, Laura heads straight to the
02:55airport where she is allowed to board Snail's private jet. The Christian is turned away, as
03:00the invitation was only for her. Once on board, Laura talks to another guest who casually
03:04mentions another billionaire's sudden death. She is concerned by the news but becomes even
03:09more worried when she notices that the man's teeth are glowing. Later during the flight,
03:13Laura video calls Tony and Anna in an attempt to celebrate the birthday remotely. The two
03:18parents try their best to put aside their differences to cheer their daughter up. However,
03:23Anna is clearly upset by the situation, and hangs up without even blowing her candles.
03:28As the plane begins to land, Laura looks out the window expecting to see a large city, but
03:32instead she sees snow-covered land stretching for miles. It turns out they've landed in Alaska,
03:37while the other guests are picked up in cars. Laura is taken by a man with a dog sled. He takes
03:42her phone, hands her a fur coat, and starts the journey through the frozen landscape. Along the
03:47way, he talks about Snail's business plans, how aggressively the company is expanding, and how new
03:53employees are being offered high salaries and full benefits. Laura listens quietly as the sled moves
03:58through the snow. In the distance behind them, the private jet blows up, but no one hears it due
04:03to the snowstorm. When Laura reaches the settlement, she's taken straight to a gathering where Snail
04:08welcomes all the new arrivals. He talks about Alaska's first settlers and says this place was
04:13built not only to honour them, but also to serve as a safe zone from everything happening in the
04:17outside world. What stands out to Laura isn't just the remote location or the ceremony, it's the way
04:23Snail speaks with certainty about the growing crisis. He already knows that several of the world's
04:27wealthiest people, including the pope, have died in the past 24 hours. While the media blames it on
04:33an epidemic, Snail doesn't believe that. He thinks it's a targeted attack against the global elite.
04:38Despite his own fortune, Snail doesn't act like a typical billionaire. He's known for donating
04:43massive amounts to humanitarian causes, and even claims to have rescued thousands from slavery,
04:48offering them jobs in his gold mines. Now, with the world on edge, he reveals a larger plan. He wants
04:54to launch multiple companies focused on public good, energy, infrastructure, education, and more.
05:00Everyone here has been chosen to lead one of these divisions. He tells them their goal is to prove
05:04that wealth can be used to help society, not just preserve personal comfort. One attendee, Mr. Yee,
05:10questions whether any of this can work without focusing on profit. Snail responds calmly, saying his
05:15main company will fund these efforts and that there are still people out there willing to invest billions
05:20into helping others. Later that night, Laura steps outside to have a smoke, and Snail joins her.
05:25He tells her that he intentionally rejected Sebastian's push to bring in Alba. After reviewing
05:30their records, he found Laura's leadership far more solid and practical. He's disappointed in
05:35Sebastian's obsession with showing off wealth just for the image. Snail also says he wants Laura to take
05:41over Sebastian's company, and gives her a book with a message he wants shared around the world. A message
05:46that not all rich people are selfish or corrupt. The next morning, Laura boards a helicopter with Mr. Yee.
05:52Both have been given copies of Snail's book. Mr. Yee says he's being sent to inspect refugee camps in
05:57Sicily, then makes an inappropriate joke that leaves Laura uncomfortable. During the flight, she tries
06:02calling Anna multiple times, but to no avail. Laura then checks her phone and sees new reports about
06:08terrorist threats and mysterious deaths tied to luxury goods. Words like plutophobia are trending
06:13everywhere, which means hatred towards the rich. When she arrives in London, the streets are in
06:18chaos. People are panicking, but Christian picks her up and brushes it off as media exaggeration.
06:24As they crawl through the traffic, Laura wonders whether people see her as part of the problem now.
06:28She's wealthy, but compared to billionaires, she still feels very poor. Despite the tension, the auction
06:34at Buckingham Palace is still being held. It's a charity event to raise money for disaster relief.
06:39Laura attends and places a huge bid of five million dollars, which shocks the entire crowd.
06:44It turns out Snail had told her to spend big for the right reasons, and this feels like the right
06:49moment. As she seals the deal, she feels a little relief, thinking the money might actually help
06:54someone. Just then, Anna calls and Laura steps out to take it. The signal is bad, and her daughter's
06:59voice cuts in and out. While trying to stay focused on the call, Laura notices a man nearby with teeth so
07:05white they seem to glow. Before she can say anything, loud shouting erupts from the next room.
07:10She runs back in and sees a royal member on the floor, shaking uncontrollably before collapsing dead.
07:15In the days that follow, the world spirals into panic. News outlets are flooded with reports about
07:20a strange flu that seems to only affect the ultra-wealthy. Some call it a virus, others say
07:25it's a series of coordinated attacks by aliens. Online, the theories multiply, poisoned luxury items,
07:31bioengineered revenge, and even curses. It is also confirmed that glowing teeth is one of the
07:36symptoms of the virus. As public fear turns into anger, they begin openly celebrating the deaths
07:41of billionaires and world leaders. Protests erupt in major cities and wealth is no longer admired,
07:47it is rather seen as a threat. Meanwhile, Laura and Christian are once again on the move,
07:51through the chaotic streets of London. The assistant is surprisingly calm and says the government should
07:56round up all the billionaires in one place to avoid another global lockdown. Shortly after,
08:01Laura gets a call from her mother, who tells her that Ana is now with her in Barcelona. Desperate to
08:06leave, Laura goes to Snail's London office, but everything there is falling apart. Employees are
08:11wearing masks, phones are ringing non-stop, and tension is everywhere. Inside the executive suite,
08:17she finds Sebastian mid-meltdown. He's furious that his father gave Laura the company. He rants about
08:22betrayal and screams that he was the rightful heir. While he's yelling, Laura notices the same thing she
08:27saw on the plane days ago. Sebastian's teeth are glowing. Later, she asks Christian to get her a
08:32flight to Barcelona. He tells her that all air travel has been shut down and the government has
08:37declared a state of emergency. But Laura doesn't care, she tells him to find a private jet or a
08:41helicopter as she's desperate to meet her daughter. As soon as Laura steps outside, she sees the street
08:47surrounded by angry protestors. Armed soldiers are holding the line, trying to keep the crowd from
08:52storming the building. Without saying a word, she slips into the back of a company car and shuts the
08:57door behind her. Trying to distract herself, Laura pulls out her phone and calls her broker. He tells
09:02her that with the market in chaos and major assets collapsing, her portfolio has exploded in value.
09:08Technically, she's richer than ever and maybe even a billionaire. This worries Laura and she asks
09:12him to sell everything but he reveals that it's not possible. The financial markets are frozen so no
09:18trades are being processed at the time being. Her only options are to spend the money or give it
09:22away as charity. Upon hearing the call, the driver realizes that she's rich so he quietly reaches for
09:28a face mask and puts it on. Later, she reaches her apartment and starts packing her stuff. She pauses
09:33for a while and checks her teeth in the mirror. Maura doesn't see anything unusual, but she can't shake
09:38the fear that it's only a matter of time. Suddenly, there's a knock at the door. Three soldiers stand
09:43outside, saying she's been selected for protective transport. They say she'll be taken to a secure
09:49location and it's for her own safety. Maura pretends to oblige, but when she walks back to grab her bag,
09:55she slips out through the fire escape. She then gets into her car and immediately drives away from
10:00there. After traveling for a while, Laura finds the roads blocked so she ditches her car and continues on
10:05foot. Eventually, she meets Christian at a side gate near an old airstrip. The crowd has already
10:10gathered, mostly other wealthy people who are desperate to leave. It turns out Christian has
10:15managed to secure her a spot on a small private plane. As they wait to board, Laura asks him to
10:20hold her assets until the chaos settles. She frames it like a divorce move, saying Tony might try to
10:25take everything, but Christian understands what she's really doing. She's trying to pass off her
10:30fortune before something worse happens. Hence, he flat out refuses her offer and walks away from there,
10:36leaving her devastated. Once the plane lifts off, the mood on board is tense. Laura tries to distract
10:41herself and calls Tony to let him know she's on her way to Barcelona. He tells her he's already at
10:46her mother's place, which surprises her, but before she can respond, the call drops due to bad signal.
10:51Inside the cabin, a few nervous passengers start talking about the whole situation. The discussion
10:56quickly turns into a loud argument about where the plane is really going and whether they're even safe.
11:02Things spiral out of hand when they notice that a man's teeth are glowing. Passengers start yelling,
11:07calling him infected, and demand that he be removed. Some try to confront him physically,
11:11and in the chaos, the man fights back. They push and shove until two of them hit a control panel near
11:16the emergency door. It unlatches, and a rush of wind fills the cabin. People are screaming,
11:22holding onto seats as the glowing man and another passenger are thrown toward the open door. One
11:26passenger takes the opportunity to kick them both out, finally bringing the chaos to an end.
11:31When the plane lands in Spain, Laura slips away from the airport without speaking to anyone.
11:36The situation isn't any better here as the police are patrolling every major road.
11:40Laura then finds a quiet place to sit and checks her phone. News reports confirm that the disease
11:45is now being called the rich flu. Online posts also talk about billionaires burning their assets in an
11:51attempt to stop the spread. Laura then searches Snail's name and finds article after article stating that
11:56he has disappeared. His companies have been shut down, his assets liquidated, and his name wiped
12:01from every current business list. Desperate for answers, she pulls out the book he gave her and
12:06flips through it. One quote catches her eye, a person is only rich until they no longer need to be.
12:11Laura stares at it for a while and finally realizes that Snail had actually duped all of them by
12:16pretending to offer them shares. In reality, he simply gave them large salaries to make himself less
12:22richer. In the next scene, Tony picks her up and they drive through narrow roads into the countryside.
12:27As they approach a checkpoint, Laura begins to worry about her bag, which is filled with jewelry
12:32and whatever cash she managed to keep. But Tony tells her to stay calm and hides the bag under the
12:37seat. When officers come over, a truck suddenly crashes into the barricade, drawing all attention
12:42away. Tony takes this opportunity to hit the gas and speeds off before anyone stops them. Soon enough,
12:48they make it to a small mountain town where Laura's mom, Marta, lives. It seems peaceful at first,
12:53but anti-rich slogans are painted across buildings and walls. Laura then spots her daughter in the
12:58distance, laughing with a group of teenagers. She's wearing a shirt that mocks the rich,
13:03making Laura angry. Later, she joins a communal dinner with the locals, but no one talks to her.
13:08People glance at her watch, the same one she bought with her first paycheck, and murmur quietly.
13:13One man comments that the virus is moving down the wealth ladder,
13:16and wonders when it will reach her. That night, Laura admits everything to Tony.
13:20She tells him how much money she has and how she tried to shift her assets to Christian.
13:25She also confesses that she keeps checking her teeth, afraid they might start glowing.
13:29Tony listens without judgment, but before they can talk more, a local man knocks on the door and
13:34warns them that the people in town are planning to force Laura out. Marta and Tony argue with him,
13:39saying it's unfair, but the crowd is already gathering outside. With no time to waste,
13:44they pack up and leave. A local guy offers them his boat, and Marta suggests heading to Tanzania
13:49where an old friend lives off the grid and might take them in. They leave during the night and the
13:53journey is extremely slow. The group survives by fishing, collecting rainwater, and avoiding large
13:59shipping routes. They pass other boats filled with people trying to escape the same fate,
14:03some still dressed in expensive clothes. Clueless about where they're going, Laura watches them and
14:08realizes none of them expected this. They had money, but no plan. One night,
14:12the group hears a voice calling from the water. Upon checking, they find a woman floating on a
14:17piece of wood so they immediately pull her aboard and care for her. Once the woman regains consciousness,
14:22she reveals that her name is Yalan and that she ended up in the sea after fleeing her refugee camp.
14:27The next day, a Libyan military ship suddenly approaches. The soldiers board and immediately
14:32detain everyone for transporting a foreign refugee. They tie the boat to theirs and say they will be taken
14:37to a processing site. In the morning, the soldiers stop near a remote island and order them to jump
14:43into the water and swim. When they try to refuse, they are pushed out forcibly but they somehow swim
14:48toward the nearest beach. They arrive soaked and exhausted, but alive. At the edge of the shore
14:53stands a memorial honoring migrants who lost their lives at sea. The family barely has time to take it
14:58in before moving inland in search of shelter. They soon find a refugee camp not far from the coast.
15:04The place is chaotic as a massive crowd surrounds an army truck trying to distribute food. People
15:09shove and scream, desperate to grab whatever they can. Yalan pushes her way into the chaos and comes
15:14back with food and water, which she shares with the family. Later, doctors arrive and perform health
15:19checks on everyone. Once cleared, the refugees are split into groups. Yalan is taken to the African
15:24tents while Laura and her family are sent to the section for Europeans. The soldier tells them that
15:29Africa has closed its borders and is only helping its own citizens. When Laura tries to explain that
15:35she's donated large amounts of money to African charities, the soldier cuts her off and says none
15:40of that matters now. While looking around the camp, Laura unexpectedly sees Mr. Yis sitting alone.
15:45She approaches him and asks about Snail. He tells her that poor countries are doing fine while
15:50Europe is in ruins. He says the wealthy world is collapsing and advises her to stay hidden until dawn.
15:55Then, he removes his mask and reveals his glowing teeth, which means he has been infected as well.
16:00That night, the family leaves the main camp and hides beneath old debris with Yalan.
16:05Laura takes this opportunity to apologize to Tony for how distant she's been, but he doesn't respond,
16:10making her realize that something's wrong. Tony then opens his mouth and reveals that he's been
16:15infected as well. He explains that when Christian refused to take her assets, he did it himself.
16:20That made him wealthy on paper and now he has the virus. Tony urges her to take care of their
16:25daughter while a distraught Laura breaks down in tears. Before they can continue, two men appear
16:29from the shadows and strike Marta to the ground. They then grab Anna and try to escape, but the
16:34parents give chase. Tony tackles one of the men to the ground and beats him, but he gets stabbed in
16:39the process. Witnessing this, a horrified Laura grabs a rock and slams it against the man's head. She
16:45then attacks the second one, landing blow after blow until he stops moving. Unfortunately, Tony also
16:51succumbs to his injuries, leaving her devastated. The next morning, the family returns to the camp.
16:56What was once a crowded mess is now a destroyed site. The tents are in ruins, the supplies are
17:01gone and only a few survivors remain. With nowhere else to go, they work with the others to build a
17:06boat from whatever materials they can find. After several days of hard work, the boat is ready and
17:12they set sail again, hoping to find safety on the mainland. After sailing for several days,
17:17they finally spot land on the horizon. But just as hope returns, a patrol ship appears and slams
17:22into their vessel, tearing it apart. People scream as they fall into the sea. Laura holds onto a piece
17:28of wood and calls out Anna's name, but the ocean drowns her voice. She eventually washes up on shore,
17:33half-conscious. Locals find her and help her stand, but they don't speak her language. Before she can even
17:39thank them, soldiers begin arriving. Searching the area, Laura runs through a nearby tunnel and hides in
17:44an abandoned building. In one of the rooms, she finds an old woman who says nothing but hands
17:49her some local clothes. Maura changes into them, and the soldiers pass by without noticing her.
17:54Later, she returns to the beach and finds a group of locals rescuing survivors. Anna and Yolen are
17:59among them, but Marta didn't survive. All the refugees are loaded onto a truck, packed together
18:04without space to sit. They travel for days without knowing where they're going. When the truck finally
18:09stops, they're told to keep walking. With no other option, they continue on foot until they reach a
18:14remote beach where a small village is being built from scratch. At the entrance, the rules are made
18:19clear. Everyone must surrender whatever they still own. Personal belongings are collected in
18:23a large bowl to be shared by the community. Laura looks at her watch, the one thing she's kept with
18:28her since the beginning, and drops it into the pile. Life in the village is hard but organized.
18:33Laura, Anna, and Yolen work alongside others to grow food, carry supplies, and maintain the huts.
18:38It's a life without luxury, but at least it's stable. One night, while walking through the camp,
18:43Laura sees another woman wearing her watch. Desperate to have it back, she offers the woman a few
18:48polished shells in exchange, and the latter complies. Laura is over the moon to get her watch back,
18:53but as she smiles, we notice her teeth getting wider, indicating that she has been infected.
