Love and determination are put to the test in "Love You As The World Ends," the movie based on the hit horror-television series co-produced by Nippon TV and Hulu Japan.
The film centers around a group of survivors as they try to stay alive during an apocalyptic zombie outbreak, and maybe even find a cure. It is directed by Shintaro Sugawara, who also directed the original series that topped the Hulu charts for two consecutive years.
Love You As The World Ends follows the journey of survivors Hibiki Mimiya, who had to go through the ordeal of losing his partner Kurumi Ogasawara in the series.
Along with a group of men also searching for their loved ones, Hibiki is hellbent on rescuing the only person he has left, his daughter Mirai. Mirai was kidnapped and brought to Utopia, a refuge from the zombies they call Golems.
