Empty house

Overview

Andres searches a nearby village, finding it looted and dangerous. An old woman warns him of approaching threats and helps him hide from armed men. Back home, Adeele and Jako fend off an intruder by scaring him away until Andres returns. As conditions worsen, Andres sets traps and struggles to survive harsh winter conditions, even falling through ice while fishing. Paramilitary men later arrive; some are caught in the traps, but they offer food after Adeele apologizes. Andres falls gravely ill, and the family is eventually rescued. As they leave, their home is abandoned, and the surrounding world continues to collapse.
