Midnight Drop

Short form series

SYNOPSIS

The Decisive Moment: Midnight Drop follows an elderly woman as she navigates her daily routines in a city on the brink of collapse. As air-raid sirens scream and bombers approach, she clings to small acts of care—feeding stray cats, cooking for her husband—as a form of resistance. Meanwhile, far above, two pilots prepare to release devastation on the very place she calls home.
