Sarah Raich: "All that's left"

Unbearable heat, violent hurricanes and deadly epidemics have made the earth almost uninhabitable in the year 2059. 15-year-old Mariana is safe from all this in her parents' house in Munich - but she is all alone and on the verge of giving up. This changes when Ali, who is the same age as Mariana, breaks into her house. He pulls her out of her despair and the two become friends. Ali, however, does not want to stay. He can't stand the closed-off world in the house and wants to look for other survivors. One morning he has disappeared, and Mariana makes a foolhardy plan: she will follow Ali into the hostile outside world, on foot across the Alps ...
