The story so far
Everything you need before watchingThe attack has finally stopped, but the supermarket is still full of blood, frightened children, and people trying to keep the wounded alive. As David comforts Billy, Joe faces unbearable pain and asks his friends to make a terrible promise. The scene then turns outward: survival may require medicine, courage, and a way through the window. Its language moves naturally from tenderness to panic and hard decisions.
