an intriguing premise lead to a feature length film with very limited story line to go on . a young man learn of an imminent nuclear holocaust just a he be fall in love with a young waitress who share his feeling . witness incredible chaos and people commit suicide leave and right and the couple end up on the roof of a tall building . eventually give up on have a quickie and the two hero appear ready to face their doom . the final line have a touching finality . in 1988 ( the release year ) a large number of people all over the world still have great fear of a nuclear war and the subsequent end of the world . fear such doom a a certainty have become less of a concern since the end of communism and the arm race . with the fear diminish and the message of this film may have weaken considerably . the material present here would have make for good viewing if turn into a 20 30 minute short film . to stretch a story that can be summarize in 2 paragraph into a feature film be and like the word suggest stretch it . the congenial lead make the viewer empathise with their plight and yet it be understood that there will be no happy end . it like purchase a one way ticket to an unknown destination . all you know be that you will not return home . this be no day after and but ok viewing for fan of love story .
