In the quiet countryside of southwestern France, a group of friends gather inside the ancient stone vaults of Malevil, a medieval castle turned winery. What begins as an ordinary day is shattered in an instant when a blinding flash tears across the sky—a nuclear strike that wipes out everything beyond the castle’s thick walls.
Emerging from the underground chambers, Emmanuel Comte and the survivors face a silent, burned world. Villages have vanished. Fields are dead. The rules of civilization no longer exist. With supplies dwindling and danger closing in, Malevil becomes both their sanctuary and their responsibility.
Determined to rebuild some form of human community, Emmanuel leads the group—old friends, farmers, and children—through the brutal realities of survival. But hope is fragile. As scattered survivors arrive, alliances form and fracture. And when a ruthless, self-proclaimed leader rises from a neighboring settlement, Malevil is forced into a confrontation where morality becomes a luxury they can no longer afford.
In a world burned clean of order and innocence, the fight for survival becomes a fight for the soul of humanity. Trust is perilous, leadership carries a cost, and rebuilding civilization may demand more sacrifice than anyone imagined.
A tense, character-driven post-apocalyptic drama, Malevil explores resilience, community, and the thin line between survival and savagery—where the future of a new world is shaped by the choices of a few.
