“Humane takes place over a single day, mere months after a global ecological collapse has forced world leaders to take extreme measures to reduce the earth’s population. In a wealthy enclave, a recently retired newsman has invited his grown children to dinner to announce his intentions to enlist in the nation’s new euthanasia program. But when the father’s plan goes horribly awry, tensions flare and chaos erupts among his children.”
Featuring in the cast of Humane are Jay Baruchel, Emily Hampshire, and Peter Gallagher.
Humane arrives in cinemas on April 26th.
