In On the Beach, we watch as the survivors of a nuclear apocalypse struggle with their relationships with their homes. There's Peter and Mary Homes—er, Holmes, who pour their souls into their humble abode despite knowing that they won't be around to enjoy it. There's Moira Davidson, who tries to escape her home life through a hard-partying lifestyle. And then there's Dwight Towers, an American forced to reckon with the fact that his home—and everyone he knows and loves—is now gone.
Yeah, don't expect to walk away from this one with any warm fuzzies.
