Story: The sky has darkened, and probably most of the people have died.

Two male human friends are surviving in a very fragile biosphere.

They depend on fish surviving, so the biosphere is complete, and they can survive.

The last female fish dies and they're down to the last two male fish. This means soon the male fish will die, without proginy the ecossystem will die, and they will die.

But one of the male fish turns to a female, and so they have hope.

Then one of the male friends starts turning into a woman. After some mental adaptation to the bizzarre circumstance, they decide to have a child, and make love, and get pregnant, and have hope.

A tiny bit of light appears in the sky, and they have hope.

Their windows get broken by a storm, which means they are starting to get a normal atmosphere again, which gives them hope.

They think about how there may be humans in other biospheres, which gives them hope.

They talk about how there was a magician in the past that made real magic, and that gives them hope.

Opinion: Yes, a lot of unlikely things can happen for the better, but promoting that kind of thought is bad for humanity, because it's so very unlikely, that usually magical thinking does more harm than good. When you're in a bad situation, it's not good to despair, but also not good to just hope things will get better, instead of looking to make things better.

Also, there are lot of other minor logical flaws to the movie, but I get that the movie is symbolic for having hope, so I won't go into them.
