Spoiled galore, beware:
During Christmas time, a group of friends collect in a country house to have one last night of camaraderie before the impending apocalypse, which is presented as poisonous cloud storms that once inhaled kill you in a painful death.
To avoid the painful death, the government, sends you a painless suicide pill so you can "die with dignity" instead of painful. The campaign has worked and people are taking this pill, and thus dying peacefully instead of painfully.
This group of friends has gathered to all die with dignity together. Along with their children.
However, in this house of long time friends, there is a boy named Arthur (the youngest son of two parents), who is not jaded in the sense that he will just believe anything he hears, and his critical thinking is through the rough. After some consideration, He doesn't want to take the pill. His parents argue with him and he runs away, inhaling one of the poisonous cloud storms and suffering a painful death, bleeding out the eyes. Everyone else takes their pills and dies. Once everyone's dead. Arthur, the only one who didn't take the pill, wakes up.
Roll credits.
So-don't believe everything your government tells you and don't swallow the pills they hand out after their long campaign of die with dignity.
What's more likely to happen in this apocalyptic scenario: people would feel their impending doom and instead of dying with dignity have a blackout-riot and murder/pillage until their painful death. The mentally divergent would suffer till the end of their own choosing, or take the pill. The rich people would be too entitled to die in general and die anyway.
I really think the only people who would take this pill would have already been experiencing suicidal ideation.
But that's just my opinion.
