The film begins with three friends- Gringo, Ariel, and Pollo, who are traveling through Chile,
having fun at a party. Gringo enjoys his time, traveling around Chile with the help of a guide
while Ariel and Pollo drag along, bored. Soon they drive to the party hoping to meet
some girls and have a good time. They enjoy a lot at the party,
when Gringo’s phone rings and it’s his daughter who tells him to come home sooner.
Then we see two girls, Kylie and Irina, who are avoiding Kylie’s controlling step-sister Monica.
Monica finally catches up to them while Kylie tries to get inside the club. The
three men are casually sitting on the couch, swiping on girls, when Pollo notices Kylie,
and remembers her from the previous party. He asks the man to let them in.
They talk for a while and we find out that Irina has a son, and Monica is uninterested
in anything fun. Kylie soon informs Monica that Pollo invited them to travel down together to
a famous destination called Valparaiso. Monica doesn’t like the idea, even when
everyone tries to convince her that it’s safe, so Kylie decides to call their dad and gets his
permission, much to Monica’s annoyance. The next day, they travel to Valparaiso
city in their car and have a good time, as Ariel guides them around, and Pollo pays for the best
places. They soon reach an Arial Tram station. The Tram is supposed to take them to a mountain,
so they decide to board it. Pollo pays for everyone again, and they continue their journey.
The owner says that there is only 6 people limit, so Pollo pays three people to get off the tram,
after saying that, ‘waiting is for poor people. They enjoy their time at the beautiful place,
and as the night falls, they go to another party at a club in Valparaiso.
The group enjoys while Monica wanders around worried, looking for Kylie,
and Ariel is busy with the phone near the bar. The others are guided by the host at a table, and
he takes Irina to the dance floor, Monica finds them, and asks Kylie to leave as she is too drunk,
but Kylie refuses, and they begin fighting. Suddenly, everything begins to shake,
indicating a strong earthquake strike. This gives rise to panic and everyone begins running around,
trying to escape. Heavy objects keep falling on people, resulting in many
crushed casualties, along with the host. Another heavy piece falls on the bartender
in front of Ariel. He tries to help her while she is being killer right in front of his eyes.
He manages to free her but the piece falls into Ariel’s hand and he loses it. He begs
the bartender for help, but she runs off. Amid the chaos, the group finds Ariel, they
wrap his hand with a cloth to prevent blood loss, while Ariel is freaking out about what happens.
Monica finds his hand and puts it in her bag and they continue towards the exit.
But when they reach there, the way out gets blocked by more falling objects.
A kind cleaning lady then leads them to a nearby manhole, through a tunnel. They climb the ladder
in order to get out onto the open road. Just when the lady is about to get out,
a truck runs her over and she falls down. They get petrified but manage to climb the
ladder and get themselves out without any casualties. When the group gets to
their car they are disappointed to find it crushed. Pollo tries to call his dad,
but there are no signals on anyone's phone. The panicked group continues asking for help
from people driving by but gets ignored by everyone. Ariel’s condition keeps getting
worse due to the severe blood loss and they get more worried with each passing time.
Pollo informs them about a hospital at the top of the hill and they decide to take
Ariel there by any means. Soon a siren is heard,
followed by everyone fleeing, they learn that the siren is an alert for a tsunami,
and begin to rush towards the hillside cable tram station, that could take them up the hill faster.
The situation is really bad and everyone wants to board the tram, so the owner
agrees to only allow the most vulnerable to travel through the tram, including Ariel.
Despite the 6-people capacity of the tram, the owner allows way more people in it,
after considering the desperation of the serious situation they are in.
The group stays on the ground and watches the Tram reach the top of the hill but unfortunately,
a cable breaks out which sends the tram to fall back down to the station,
resulting in everyone’s death, including Ariel. Pollo gets closer to the fallen Tram and upon
watching his friend’s lifeless body, he breaks down, blaming himself for the accident.
Gringo tries to console Pollo and takes him away from the scene,
assuring him that it was not his fault. Irina arrives interrupting their mourning
and reminds them about the tsunami alert and pushes them to get out of there.
As they reach the streets, they witness the ensuing chaos where people are stealing from
unsupervised shops and killing each other. They decide to stay away from the streets
and head towards the cemetery in order to reach the cathedral, which is at the top of the hill,
by traveling through the hidden tunnel. They run past a group of violent prisoners
who managed to escape the prison after it got destroyed by the earthquake. They notice the
women in the group and begin following them. While the group is running away, a heavy part
of the building falls on Gringo, pinning him to the ground. He is fully conscious
while experiencing immense pain. They try to remove the piece but it’s too heavy.
Pollo suggests that they need a car jack to get him out and would need to
go to the streets to get it. Gringo begs them to not leave
him alone as he is too scared. Pollo and Monica decide to go look for a jack while
Irena and Kylie would stay behind with Gringo. As Irina is trying to comfort the stuck Gringo,
Kylie hears the prisoners approaching and warns them. Gringo asks them to hide but
they refuse to leave him alone. He convinces them that they would
only take his money and leave him alone. The girls hide in the tombs, while the
gang approaches the trapped Gringo. They ask him about the girls, saying that they want to release
their pent-up frustration from prison. When Gringo doesn’t tell them anything,
they confront him for the information as he screams from the pain.
Meanwhile, Pollo and Monica try to look for the jack in all the cars but fail
to find one. Soon they see a fire truck approaching and try to stop it, but the
truck is out of control and crashes to a stop. They find that one of the firefighters has been
run through by wooden beams while the other one is alive but trapped in his
place. They help the living one out of the truck. He explains that the truck went out
of control because of some escaped prisoners, who were trying to take control of the truck.
Meanwhile, the gang leader pours alcohol on Gringo and threatens to light him up if he didn’t tell
him the whereabouts of the girls. Gringo fears for his life, and having no choice left, he points
towards the girls’ hiding place with his eyes. Irina witnesses this and gets scared, she crawls
out of the tomb and tries to run away, only to get caught by the prisoners. The leader takes her,
while the others continue to tell jokes. Frustrated and helpless, Gringo manages to
throw a rock at the leader in order to stop him. This angers the leader and he kills Gringo.
Kylie hears everything and is extremely terrified in the tomb, she could not take
it and decides to run. The group notices and follows her while the leader’s brother
stays behind to continue bothering Irina. Kylie manages to run away and finds Pollo and
Monica, along with the firefighter. Pollo, who has brought an ax from the firetruck,
decides to go save Irina. They get there and Pollo axes
the leader’s brother, ending him on the spot. The gang leader gets there before they could
run away. Upon seeing his brother’s body, he begins firing at them. The bullets,
unfortunately, get Irina, and she dies. The others manage to escape and reach a
gated building where some survivors are living. A single mother violently refuses to let them in
but her neighbor opens the gate for them. As Pollo gets inside and tries to beg the
woman to let them in, she fires at his chest, and the others rush to carry him
away. They decide to hide him near the dumpsters so that they could get help.
Meanwhile, the prisoners are hunting them to take revenge. Pollo is alone and scared
while hiding there. Suddenly, his phone rings which unfortunately alerts the prisoners.
They manage to locate him and shoot him without hesitation,
before continuing forward with their search. The three survivors finally reach the cathedral,
closely followed by the prisoners. The priest lets them in and shuts it just in time before
the prisoners could get inside. As they get inside the cathedral,
another aftershock hits that result in the cathedral falling apart.
The group manages to prevent any casualties, as the priest leads them to a secret passage
under the cathedral, and they begin climbing down the long ladder one by one.
The firefighter reaches the bottom first. Kylie and the Priest are still climbing
down when another aftershock makes the ladder shake violently and it falls down. The priest
falls to his death while Kylie falls down on a metal object that penetrates her thigh.
Monica was the last one to climb down, so she now remains stranded, alone and scared,
at the top, as the ladder is gone. Kylie cries in pain and the firefighter
removes his jacket in order to stop the bleeding. He assures her that he will
get the object out despite Kylie’s denial due to the extreme pain.
After removing his coat, he kneels down in front of Kylie to help her. Kylie notices the tattoos on
his arms and shoulders and gets to the horrifying realization that he is also an escaped prisoner.
It turns out that the man is one of the escaped prisoners who took over the fire truck. A panicked
Kylie begs him to spare her life and promises that she will not tell anyone about him.
Meanwhile, Monica manages to find some ropes and goes down the ladder shaft. She succeeds to land
safely at the bottom which is empty. While walking through the passage,
she finds Kylie’s body and the prisoner tries to kill her as well.
A violent struggle ensues between the two, followed by another aftershock that helps
Monica to end the prisoner with an ax. Exhausted and scared, Monica manages to
get out of the tunnel that opens into a beautiful beach full of light.
She is elated to find herself out in the open and is really happy thinking that she
has got to safety. But there is a tall wave building behind her, and the film ends as
she runs away, seeing it rushing toward her. If you want to watch more on Movie Shortens,
