Storyline
In an unassuming GTA townhouse, the Temple of Alpha Centauri prepares for the imminent end of times.
The "TAC" record their final farewells, making it clear they believe they are going to a better place. THE LEADER (65), a charismatic but empty man, is focused on keeping TAC’s members under his control. One member, SEBASTIAN (28), begins to doubt the pessimistic leader's ideology: he must decide whether he’s willing to leave, or stay and die with his friends. Sojourn explores themes of community, isolation, and hope in the face of oblivion.
