London: The not too distant future. Newgen Industries, a leading pharmaceutical company, is trying to placate a media uproar. Its new legal performance enhancer, RAK-295, has met with spectacular failure during testing, causing severe physical and allergic reactions in all 30,000 of its test subjects, except one - Angela Mills. Angela, herself, is pregnant and is making arrangements of her own to leave a city full of woe and bad memories. With Angela being the only person not to report any type of reaction to the testing, Dr. Brooke (head of Newgen) understands that Angela may hold the key to solving this disaster and enlists Cole, the head of security, to find her and bring her in for examination. But Cole, a hardened ex-mercenary wants out from committing crimes to solve Newgen's problems, and has just handed in his resignation to Peter White, the CEO. His timing couldn’t be worse. A violent outbreak of a test subject at Newgen's labs reveals that the drug has far more catastrophic consequences than anyone could have imagined, claiming life of Brooke and White in the process. And it's spreading. During the struggle Cole is also bitten, his fate sealed. Or is it?

What if you went on a holiday and the apocalypse happened? GALICIA! is a found-footage, hybrid-documentary following a couple through home video footage as they visit their friends at a winery in rural Spain and inadvertently capture the end of days. We live in a time where the sense of our impending mutually assured destruction is more real than it’s ever been. GALICIA! Takes the form of a holiday video - a document of a couple before - and after the great cataclysm. The film starts as something that feels unedited - an accidental video diary of an ordinary couple that feels somewhat ghostly as much as it is also pedestrian. As the film evolves and degrades, we are led to question the fragility of humanity, as well as its power to endure.
