Based on the acclaimed 1957 Argentine comic by Héctor Germán Oesterheld and Francisco Solano López, the show begins with a catastrophic snowfall that devastates humanity and leads to a chaotic struggle for survival. As the narrative unfolds, it introduces an alien invasion, which serves as a powerful allegory for colonialism and political oppression.
